OTTAWA -Environmentalists predicted more rigorous government scrutiny of private industrial projects after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled yesterday that the federal government was breaking its own law by excluding public input when it approved a mine in northern British Columbia. The unanimous court, while requiring more stringent environmental study in the future, nevertheless ruled that Imperial Metals' gold and copper mine can go ahead without a full impact study. The 7-0 ruling overturned a decision in the Federal Court of Appeal. After the B.C. government studied and approved the mine project, Ottawa decided to carry out a lighter "screening" rather than a full assessment.
