Public consultation and participation
Your opinion is important. We work with the communities concerned to create projects that meet your needs and your environment. Together, we are designing the best projects for everyone.
Why do we consult you?
Knowing what you think and what your concerns are is key to creating projects that integrate harmoniously into your environment and benefit everyone. Thanks to your participation, we are able to adapt our projects to local. That’s why we consult you several times – during key stage of a major project.
Our Commitment
- Listen to your concerns
- Answer your questions
- Work together to find the best solutions
- Provide clear information at each step
Who takes part?
We can consult with a wide range of people and organizations depending on the project and host environment:
- Municipalities (local and regional)
- Governments (provincial and federal)
- Members of the National Assembly
- First Nations and Inuit
- Residents (affected landowners, neighbouring residents and the general public)
- Environmental organizations (local, regional and national)
- Representatives of farms and woodlands (such as the Union des producteurs agricoles [UPA])
- Land users (vacation associations, hunting and fishing clubs, etc.)
- Interest groups (community groups, citizen associations)

How and when can you participate?
