    federal Minister Stephen Guilbeault is to decide whether to designate Project Nujio'qonik for a federal Impact Assessment by October 3rd

    A rally against the World Energy GH2 project was set for today in St. John’s. Social Justice Co-op NL announced it on their facebook page. The Environmental Transparency Committee, with the support of EnviroWatch NL, the Social Justice Co-operative of NL, CLEAN NL, and the Council of Canadians, are asking that Minster Stephen Guilbeault designate Project Nujio'qonik for a impact assessment through the federal Impact Assessment Agency. The federal impact assessment process is more comprehensive than the provincial one and provides for public participation. The page quoted, “Trust has broken down between concerned residents and the provincial government, leading to a lack of trust in the provincial government's capacity to carry out an honest and sufficient assessment.” Minister Guilbeault is to decide whether to designate Project Nujio'qonik for a federal Impact Assessment by October 3rd
