We call on the Government of Canada to take urgent climate action now by passing Bill C-219, The Environmental Bill of Rights to amend the Canadian Bill of Rights to add the right to live in healthy and ecologically balanced environment, and specifically; the right to reasonable, timely and affordable access to information; the right to effective, informed and timely public participation in decision-making; the right to bring a matter regarding the protection of the environment before courts or tribunals; and the right to request a review of any Act of Parliament respecting the environment.
The passing of this Bill would bring Canada into line with more than 100 countries around the world that have rights to a healthy environment enshrined in their legal systems.
A healthy environment is an integral part of what makes Canadians proud of our country.
Join us in demanding the right to live in a healthy and ecologically balanced environment and the tools to ensure the Government of Canada is protecting this right within its legal jurisdiction.
Add your name and take action now.
