Federal sustainability for future generations - a report following an assessment of the Federal Sustainable Development Act / Deborah Schulte, chair.: XC50-1/1-421-2E-PDF
“Following the presentation of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development’s most recent report reviewing the Federal Sustainable Development Act, the Committee unanimously passed a motion to assess the Act, with a view to improving the effectiveness and implementation of this legislation. The following day, as required under section 9(3) of the Act, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change provided a copy of the draft Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) covering the period 2016–2019, along with a letter to the Committee welcoming its comments on the draft by June 24, 2016. Over the course of three meetings, the Committee heard from 17 witnesses who were largely in agreement regarding changes that need to be made to the Act that will ultimately result in a more effective FSDS”--Introd., p. 4.
