Feedback on the Draft Implementation Framework for a Right to a Healthy Environment

The Manitoba Eco-Network (MbEN) is making this submission to provide input on the Draft Implementation Framework for the Right to a Healthy Environment under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (“CEPA”). We are pleased to contribute to the ongoing development of the Implementation Framework that will help determine what the right to a healthy environment actually means for Canadians, and how our newly recognized federal environmental rights should influence changes to CEPA processes. This written submission is complementary to the input we previously provided through past submissions and through an online consultation event held by MbEN on March 27, 2024. More information and the recording of the event can be accessed on our website, here.
