Dear Ms. Perry:
SUBJECT: Scotian Basin Exploration Drilling Project - Response to Information Request (IR) 114
Dear Ms. Perry:
Thank you for the additional information you provided on August 2, 2017 to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency's request for further elaboration of BP's earlier response to Information Request (IR) 114. That IR was about potential effects of the Scotian Basin Exploration Drilling Project on current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes, and on socio-economic conditions in Indigenous communities.
The Agency has completed its conformity review of the new information and has determined that it provides the requested information. The Agency will now conduct a technical review of the response, after which I will advise you if further information is required.
Upon transmission of this letter, and consistent with the Agency's Operational Policy Statement: Information Requests and Timelines (https://www.canada.ca/en/environmental-assessment-agency/news/media-room/media-room-2016/information-requests-timelines.html) the legislated environmental assessment timeline will resume.
Please contact me if you require further information.
Yours truly,
