Existing Projects

The Executive Committee of YESAB may establish a Panel of the Board to conduct a review of:

• an existing project
• a temporary shutdown, an abandonment or a decommissioning of an existing project
• a significant change to an existing project

This may be done only at the request of the government which has administrative authority for the project, or at the request of a First Nation and with the consent of the federal and/or territorial minister.

The recommendations resulting from the Panel review will be provided to the relevant administrative authority which must give full and fair consideration to the recommendations.
