Summary

The New Brunswick Brownfield Liability Working Group (Working Group) was established in response to a report from the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) entitled "Cleaning up the Past, Building the Future: A National Brownfield Redevelopment Strategy for Canada" (to download this report, see below).

The initiative is lead by the Department of the Environment (NBEnv), which both chairs and participates in the work of the committee. All members of the Working Group share a common interest in facilitating the remediation and redevelopment of New Brunswick's brownfield properties.

The Working Group includes representation from the Canadian Bankers Association, the Canadian Petroleum Products Institute, the Canadian Bar Association, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the Cities of New Brunswick Association, Irving Oil Ltd., and J. D. Irving Ltd. The provincial departments of Business New Brunswick and Finance are also represented.

The Working Group has analyzed the key impediments to brownfield remediation and redevelopment in New Brunswick, and formulated recommendations for how those impediments might best be addressed.

The Working Group report is currently being reviewed by the Provincial cabinet.
