Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is supporting the federal government’s on-going efforts to improve the coordination of impact assessments across jurisdictions to streamline assessments, under the principle of one project, one assessment. To assist project-level reviews, NRCan has a wide array of multidisciplinary expertise and tools, including but not limited to:

- Open Science and Data Platform, a hub providing access to Federal/Provincial/Territorial government data, science and regulatory information - Technical and scientific advice-based on the department’s diverse, scientific research mandate (e.g., mine waste characterization and management, groundwater and hydrogeology, economic and competitiveness analysis, etc.) - Baseline data and research (e.g., earth observations and analysis of geochemistry reviews) - Proponent engagement (e.g., Mining Application Navigator) - With new legislation and shortened timelines, NRCan’s expertise and tools are well-positioned to help government adapt to expediated processes.
