What Canadians Stand to Lose if the Senate Guts Bill C-69, the New Environmental Assessement Law
Bill C-69 proposes new environmental legislation which will
strengthen assessments for major projects like mines, dams, LNG plants
and pipelines. Think projects like Site C, Coastal GasLink Pipeline and
the Trans Mountain pipeline out west, Energy East and Chalk River nuclear dump in central Canada, the Saguenay fracked gas pipeline, LNG plant and terminal in Quebec or the Muskrat Falls dam, the Northern Pulp Mill and offshore oil and gas in eastern Canada.

This
bill gives Canada an opportunity to get serious about the global fight
against climate change by making it part of how we build Canada’s energy
projects and infrastructure.
