In 2017, the House of Commons environment committee reviewed CEPA and made 87 recommendations for strengthening the act, including amendments to recognize the human right to a healthy environment and the need to protect vulnerable populations and better control toxic substances.
A lot has changed in the past two decades, but CEPA is stuck in the past. In the era of climate emergency and increasing toxic threats and now COVID-19, we need strong environmental laws. Tell Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson to fix CEPA.
