We at the ORA fully support strengthening the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) through the list of 87 recommendations made by The Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development in its Eighth Report, tabled on 15 June 2017. The ORA supports the right to a healthy environment. Healthy communities, a healthy economy and a healthy environment are essential to Canada’s sustainability. A review of the Act presents the federal government with a golden opportunity to improve the health and well-being of all people in Canada.
