Perhaps you would cite the relevant sections in C 38 that are so
contentious?  I've read through most of the bill as it relates to
environmental issues that I can find and it all seems pretty reasonable and
prudent to me.
PURPOSES

Purposes

*4.* (1) The purposes of this Act are

(*a*) to protect the components of the environment that are within the
legislative authority of Parliament from significant adverse envi-ronmental
effects caused by a designated project;

(*b*) to ensure that designated projects that require the exercise of a
power or perform-ance of a duty or function by a federal authority under
any Act of Parliament other than this Act to be carried out, are considered
in a careful and precautionary manner to avoid significant adverse
environmental effects;

(*c*) to promote cooperation and coordinated action between federal and
provincial governments with respect to environmental assessments;

(*d*) to promote communication and cooperation with aboriginal peoples with
respect to environmental assessments;

(*e*) to ensure that opportunities are provided for meaningful public
participation during an environmental assessment;

(*f*) to ensure that an environmental assessment is completed in a timely
manner;

(*g*) to ensure that projects, as defined in section 66, that are to be
carried out on federal lands, or those that are outside Canada and that are
to be carried out or financially supported by a federal authority, are
considered in a careful and precautionary manner to avoid significant
adverse environmental effects;

(*h*) to encourage federal authorities to take actions that promote
sustainable development in order to achieve or maintain a healthy
environment and a healthy economy; and

(*i*) to encourage the study of the cumulative effects of physical
activities in a region and the consideration of those study results in
environmental assessments.
