The Government of Canada therefore places an emphasis on working in cooperation and collaboration with provincial and territorial governments. Examples of this include the Federal Provincial Territorial/Aboriginal(FPTA) Forum, established in 1998, and the Social Union Framework Agreement(SUFA), signed in February 1999. The FPTA includes an agreement to meet at least once a year to review work undertaken to address Aboriginal issues in the most effective manner. Participants agreed that working together in the spirit of cooperation to address the social and economic challenges facing Aboriginal people is an important step in the formation of a positive environment to address issues of mutual concern. The goals of the FPTA are to achieve practical results through cooperative initiatives, provide increased communication and information-sharing and facilitate consideration of Aboriginal interests within government.

C’est pourquoi le gouvernement du Canada insiste sur le travail concerté et la collaboration avec les gouvernements des provinces et des territoires. Le Forum fédéral-provincial-territorial-autochtone (FFPTA), créé en 1998, et l’Entente-cadre sur l’union sociale (ECUS), signée en février 1999, illustrent bien cet état de fait. Les participants au FFPTA se sont entendus pour se rencontrer une fois par an afin de passer en revue les travaux entrepris pour répondre le plus efficacement possible aux enjeux intéressant les Autochtones. Ils conviennent également que le fait de travailler dans un esprit de collaboration dans le but de relever les défis socioéconomiques auxquels font face les Autochtones constitue un pas important vers l’établissement d’un climat positif qui permettra de s’attaquer aux enjeux d’intérêt mutuel. Les buts du FFPTA sont l’obtention de résultats concrets grâce à des initiatives de collaboration, une intensification des communications et de la mise en commun de l’information, et la considération accrue des intérêts des Autochtones au sein des gouvernements.

Social scoping refers to a very early activity in an impact assessment in which an attempt is made to identify the attributes or components of the environment for which there is public or professional concern, or both, and to which the assessment should primarily be addressed. On the other hand, ecological scoping is defined as an exploration of the possibilities for studying and predicting the effects of a planned action on the attributes or components so defined. Thus, social scoping establishes the terms in which impacts should be expressed, and ecological scoping established the terms under which the impacts can be studied and predicted.

The Ministry of the Environment has published general guidelines to assist proponents in identifying general areas that may be of concern. These guidelines only present an overview and identify a range of factors(including social ones) that might be relevant in the planning of a specific undertaking. The most common problem with this approach is that it does not provide the kind of "road map" that some proponents seem to want when dealing with the social and community components of environmental assessments.

Le problème le plus commun posé par ce principe vient de ce qu'il ne fournit pas le genre de "plan" que certains promoteurs souhaiteraient avoir à leur disposition lors de l'étude des composantes sociales et communautaires d'une évaluation environnementale.
