In 2007, the NEB received additional funding through Treasury Board to address increased industry activity for 2007 – 2010. Due to a sustained and continued requirement for resources to meet workload demand, the NEB has determined these resources will be required on a go-forward basis and will present a submission to this effect to Treasury Board in 2010.

1 Under the CEA Act, the Minister of Environment can substitute a hearing by the NEB for a CEA Act review panel or joint review panel process. Substitution was endorsed by the External Advisory Committee on Smart Regulation in its report entitled Smart Regulation: A Regulatory Strategy for Canada (September 2004) as a viable means to provide the substitute authority greater control over the design and the broader regulatory approval process. Substitution could make the review processes more efficient and timely without reducing the quality of the environmental assessment or compromising the public's ability to participate.
