The Minerals and Metals Branch of Environment Canada is forming
a Multi-stakeholder advisory group (MAG) to provide advices on
the development of possible amendments to the Metal Mining Effluent
Regulations.
The proposed membership of the MMER MAG would be:
- Federal Government: 5 (two from Environment Canada, one from
Fisheries & Oceans Canada, one from INAC and one from Natural
Resources Canada).
- Provincial/territorial governments: one seat for each jurisdiction
that expresses an interest.
- Aboriginal organizations: based on interest.
- Industry: 4
- Public Interest: 4 (ENGOs).
- Secretariat (Minerals and Metals Branch): 2
Commitments for the MAG members:
- Commitment until at least December 2006.
- MAG members would network with their constituents as they
deem appropriate.
- Participate at regular meetings of the MAG (e.g., every month
or second month), would be via teleconference.
- Participate at Face-to-face meetings of the MAG, would occur
as deemed necessary but at least annually.
Environment Canada will reimburse, consistent with Treasury Board
Guidelines, the travel and living expenses for all face-to-face
meetings.
There is a possibility that the ENGO members get honorarium for
their preparation and participation at the face-to-face meetings
and also to write a report on ENGO’s perspectives on the
amendments. However, we do not have any confirmation on this at
the present time.
The text of the MMER is available on the Department
of Justice website.
