[...] Recommendation 7 The Committee recommends that section 9 of CEPA be amended to strengthen the criteria for the establishment of administrative agreements and enhance monitoring and reporting of the performance of entities that enter into such agreements with the Minister. [...] Moffet of Environment and Climate Change Canada testified that the department has been implementing the "equivalent in effect" test for the past 15 years; however, the related wording in CEPA is ambiguous and could be clarified through an amendment.63 Industrial stakeholders, such as the Canadian Fuels Association, were generally supportive both of the use of equivalency agreements and of the gove.

Download or read book Cleaner Greener Healthier written by David R. Boyd and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite Canada’s enduring image as a natural paradise, every year thousands of Canadians become ill or die prematurely as a result of exposure to environmental hazards. Canadians understand that their health is inextricably linked to the health of the environment and are deeply concerned about the impacts of toxic substances on themselves and their children. In Cleaner, Greener, Healthier, David R. Boyd sets out to remedy Canada’s environmental health problems. He begins by assessing the environmental burden of disease, identifies its unequal distribution along racial and socio-economic lines, and estimates the associated economic costs. He then compares Canadian environmental laws and policies with those in the United States, Australia, and the European Union, delivering a provocative diagnosis of the root causes of Canada’s second-rate standards. Finally, drawing on strategies that protect citizens in other countries, Boyd prescribes legal remedies that will enable Canada to catch up with the world’s environmental leaders while delivering substantial health and economic benefits.

Download or read book The Right to a Healthy Environment written by David R. Boyd and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2012-10-03 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada has abundant natural wealth -- beautiful landscapes, vast forests, and thousands of rivers and lakes. The land defines Canadians as a people, yet the country has one of the worst environmental records in the industrialized world. Building on his previous book, The Environmental Rights Revolution (2012), David R. Boyd, one of Canada’s leading environmental lawyers, describes how recognizing the constitutional right to a healthy environment could have a transformative impact by empowering citizens, holding governments and industry accountable, and improving Canada’s green record. The overwhelming majority of the world’s nations now recognize environmental rights through laws, constitutions, treaties, or court decisions. Boyd explores Canada’s history of failed efforts to do the same within this international context and offers three pathways to constitutional recognition of the right to a healthy environment. This important and provocative book provides a blueprint for renewed leadership in protecting human health, the well-being of the planet, and the interests of future generations.
Download or read book Health and Sustainability in the Canadian Food System written by Rod MacRae and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil society organizations are among the most vociferous critics of the modern food system. Yet even after decades of campaigns, governments have failed to address health and sustainability issues in a systematic way. New approaches are in order, and this volume showcases the research of experts from various disciplines who argue that solutions lie not just in lobbying elected officials but rather in initiatives at the subparliamentary level. Case studies on a range of topics, from breastfeeding and sustainable pest management promotion to programs such as Canada’s Action Plan on Food Security, tell a story of misguided campaigns and missed opportunities. Real change, this inspiring volume suggests, is possible. It will come when advocacy groups develop innovative strategies of influencing decision makers more resistant to public pressure: business lobbies well connected to government agencies, middle managers, and ministries unused to collaborating across departmental mandates.

Focusing on three key areas (nature and conservation; zero-emission vehicles and transportation; and energy efficiency), the overarching goal of this campaign is to both inform Canadians of existing efforts currently in progress in the fight against climate change (e.g., federal programs, incentives and efforts to accelerate the fight against climate change and encouraging further climate action), and to promote the economic benefits of such change. Moreover, the campaign will aim at building collective support for such actions, and Canadians, businesses and communities regarding what they can do to further accelerate climate action. While this campaign is being led by ECCC, it will feature services offered by various Government of Canada departments"--Background, page 4.
