Bill S-5: is there time to improve federal control of toxic substances and genetically modified organisms?

Parliament has been considering its review of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act for a long time, and there is still time to incorporate real change into a statute that has not been meaningfully amended in over twenty years.

Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault speaks with reporters in the House of Commons foyer on April 20, 2023. Earlier this year, the federal government prematurely declared victory in the war on toxic substances and genetically modified organisms, write Heather M. Fast, Mark Butler, Sylvia Plain, and Joseph Castrilli. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
