Canada and British Columbia southern mountain caribou protection study 2017: chapter 1
Annex 1. History of application – authorizations issued after establishment of legislative instruments
Section 3 provides information about how the various legislative instruments may or may not constrain different activities. In some cases there is discretion available to Statutory Decision Makers (SDM) in making decisions which may affect caribou habitat. Too much discretion means that there is not enough certainty to predict that the legislation will be effective in preventing destruction of caribou habitat. Conversely, not enough discretion could mean that a SDM does not have the ability to consider caribou habitat when making a decision.
The tables below provide information on the number and area of authorizations that have been issued after the date the various legislative instruments were established. This provides general information only about the potential for activities to occur within the legislative instruments established within the LPUs of the Central Group. “Authorizations” include tenure, which are broad areas within which activities may or may not be subsequently authorized (e.g. leases and licenses), as well as more site-specific permits to undertake works on the ground.
The history of authorizations made since the areas were designated reinforces the finding that one or multiple categories of activities could still be authorized within the various designated areas.
However, it is important to note that a given authorization or activity may not necessarily result in destruction of critical habitat. Significantly more detailed analysis would be required to determine whether critical habitat was or could be destroyed as a result of these authorizations.
