THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF YESAB

YESAB has a broad range of responsibilities when conducting environmental and socio-economic assessments and providing recommendations to Decision Bodies. The organization notifies interested parties, First Nations and the public of current project assessments, ensures proponents submit the appropriate information, conducts research related to project activities, and collects and considers public comments before submitting reports and recommendations to Decision Bodies.

YESAB is an impartial and independent body that provides recommendations that eliminate or mitigate potentially significant adverse effects. YESAB provides recommendations to Decision Body(s) but does not issue permits, authorizations or approve projects. The regulatory bodies within governments are responsible for issuing all permits and authorizations. When permits are issued, the terms and conditions of those permits are not enforced by YESAB. Enforcement of the terms and conditions within a permit or authorization is the responsibility of governments.
