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:
