Did you know that Canada’s Environmental Protection Act – CEPA – is over 20 years old? It is drastically in need of an update!
On February 9, 2022, the government introduced Bill S-5, Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act. It passed second reading on April 7, 2022 and is now before the Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment, and Natural Resources.
Tell Senators you support strengthening and passing the CEPA bill, S-5!
