14. (1) If a project or part of a project is within a class of projects for which a declaration has been made in accordance with subsection 12(1), the CPA may use the model class screening report for the purpose of complying with subsection 10(1).

• (a) subject to subparagraph (c)(iii), where, taking into account the implementation of any technically and economically feasible mitigation measures, the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects, the CPA may exercise any power or perform any duty or function referred to in paragraphs 5(1)(a) to (c) of the Act;

• (b) where, taking into account the implementation of any technically and economically feasible mitigation measures, the project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects that cannot be justified in the circumstances, the CPA shall not exercise any power or perform any duty or function referred to in paragraphs 5(1)(a) to (c) of the Act; or

• (c) the CPA shall refer the project to the Minister of Transport, who will submit it to the Minister for a referral to a review panel if

  • (ii) the project, taking into account the implementation of any technically and economically feasible mitigation measures, is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects and paragraph (b) does not apply, or

  • (iii) public concerns warrant a reference to a review panel.

(2) If a CPA takes a course of action referred to in paragraph (1)(a), it shall

• (a) ensure that any mitigation measures referred to in that paragraph in respect of the project are implemented;

• (b) design a follow-up program, if appropriate for the project, and arrange for the implementation of that program; and

• (c) advise the public of

  • (i) its course of action in relation to the project,

  • (ii) any mitigation measures to be implemented with respect to adverse environmental effects of the project,
