Bill S-5: is there time to improve federal control of toxic substances and genetically modified organisms?
MbEN’s policy director Heather Fast provided insight for a Hill Times article about Bill S-5, which updates the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. MbEN and other colleagues in the environmental nonprofit sector feel that the changes proposed in Bill S-5 are insufficient for creating meaningful change to protect Canadians from harmful substances, and we offer solutions to address these needs more effectively.
