Hi folks
On
 July 8, the Senate Committee on National Finance removed problematic 
and non-budgetary aspects of Bill C9 - the Budget Implementation Bill which would drastically weaken 
the federal environmental assessment process. Proposed rules would grant
 the federal environment minister power to reduce the scope of reviews 
and put many infrastructure projects on an exemption list.



    

 On July 
9, Prime
 Minister Harper appointed a new senator, Conservative Salma 
Ataullahjan. The new appointment makes it much more 
unlikely that there will be a majority in the Senate to remove the 
non-budgetary items from the Budget Bill, including the new legislation 
gutting the environmental assessment act. TOMORROW, TUESDAY JULY 13th the Senate votes. 
Please sign this quick send 
petition by the Sierra Club of Canada to ask the Senators to remove problematic and non-budgetary 
aspects from 
the Budget Bill, especially the provisions that would weaken the 
environmental assessment act at this link:
