Federal impact assessment: find an open period and submit a useful public comment to the Registry

Tie the comment to the project and stage, present precise facts and effects, manage confidentiality and retain the publication record.

Priority

A Registry comment may become public. Do not put confidential information or confidential Indigenous knowledge in the public submission form.

Confirm the scope

Find the exact project, responsible authority, stage, notice, questions and closing time for the comment period.

Prepare the information

Read key records and structure each effect, evidence item, affected group, gap and recommended measure with references.

Complete the process

Validate your email, follow the submission policy and use the stated contact for information requiring different protection.

Keep follow-up records

Keep confirmation and the filed version and monitor publication, responses and later consultations or funding opportunities.
