From the executive summary of the final report:

The Panel’s mandate, issued by the Minister, was “to undertake a review of the environmental and directly related social impacts (resulting from changes to the biophysical environment) of the Rafferty-Alameda Dam Project.” The Panel also had the mandate to review and make recommendations concerning mitigation measures and the operation and structure of the dams. ... The Panel include in its public review the significant and moderate impacts that could not be mitigated with known technology or for which no mitigation was provided as stipulated in Environment Canada’s IEE. Project impacts that were considered by the Panel included those intended and beneficial impacts that relate to the Project’s water management objectives, and other beneficial or adverse impacts not directly related to the objectives. There are several specific Project objectives related to flood control, water supply and recreation. Some of these objectives are in direct conflict with each other (e.g., flood control argues for keeping the reservoir levels low, whereas water supply argues for keeping the reservoir levels high). The conflicting nature of some of the objectives, the extreme variability of flows in the Souris basin and the apparent scarcity of water to meet consumption, evaporative losses and targets for apportionment to North Dakota, means that there is not much latitude in reservoir operations to meet all objectives.

On February 5, 1991 a three-person panel appointed by federal Minister of the Environment.
On February 8, 1991, Mr. Justice Muldoon of the Federal Court issued an order requiring additional impacts were considered.
