Discussion document on the implementation framework for a right to a healthy environment under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.: En14-542/2024E-PDF

"The purpose of this discussion document is to inform the development of an implementation framework (“the framework”) which will set out how a right to a healthy environment in the context of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA) will be considered by the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and the Minister of Health in the administration of the Act. The framework will give meaning to a right to a healthy environment in the CEPA context for individuals in Canada. In addition, the implementation framework will elaborate on principles to be considered in the administration of CEPA, such as the principles of environmental justice, the principle of non regression and the principle of inter-generational equity. The discussion document aims to stimulate dialogue and help focus discussions on key concepts and elements of the framework and to seek views on its design and potential application"-- Purpose of this document, page [5].
