And yeah, I'm pretty secure in the knowledge that Bill C-69 which opens up consultations to every environmental group that wants to plug projects up, takes gender and down stream emission effects into consideration and allows cabinet ministers like the Minister of Environment to simply kill projects is a deal breaker for anyone that's looking to do any project here.

The bill has been in the Senate for nearly a year - that is very unusual. Now they want to go on a road show? They are delaying it until its too late for the bill to get thru Parliament before the summer break.
Like I just noted, nobody even knows what projects Bill C-69 will apply to - and most of those things re consultations, emissions, and ministerial powers already exists in the current CEAA 2012. Granted downstream emissions and gender are not - but none of those considerations explicitly kill any projects (once we know what they are).
