Environmental rights are recognized in 170 countries around the world, and are enshrined in legislation in the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Ontario and Quebec. If you support environmental rights for all Canadians, please take a few minutes to write to all members of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development and tell them you want them to pass Bill C-469.
