Projet de mine dans la Baie-des-Chaleurs | Le fédéral rejette la demande d’évaluation environnementale
AI Article Summary

The Canadian Impact Assessment Agency has rejected a federal environmental evaluation request for a planned pozzolan mine in the Bay of Chaleur. This decision disappoints a Quebecois citizen group concerned about the mine's potential cross-border environmental impact. While the project will undergo a provincial assessment, the group may pursue legal actions to address their concerns. The mine, intended to produce a volcanic rock used in a low-carbon construction material, sits close to the Quebec-New Brunswick border.
