[GREN-Exec] Fwd: Letter for Sign-On: Proposed Project List under the amended Environmental Assessment Act

[John Jackson]

Just wanted to let you know that I just signed GREN on to this letter by CELA on the proposal by the province to exempt most projects from serious EA. If you have other groups who might like to endorse it, please do so by Monday. Susan B, I used your name for GREN because i had signed on as the Citizens' Network on Waste Management. I am sure you could find someone else from APT to sign it.

John
