Government Awaits Feedback on Review Changes

Ottawa extended public consultation deadline for environmental review changes to July 22.
Proposed changes allow major projects to bypass environmental review and exempt some from species protection laws.
Critics, including Green Party Leader Liz May, warn changes risk environmental protections.
Government plans to introduce legislation in fall after consultation, not immediately.
Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon says there are 'enormous issues' requiring comprehensive feedback.
