Everyone participating in the open house must comply with the following rules:
- Questions and comments must pertain to the project under review and its Environmental Impact Statement or the environmental assessment process.
- Discussions must be carried out with respect for the individuals involved. Participants are asked to phrase their questions calmly and moderately. Personal attacks and offensive or threatening language will not be tolerated.
