The federal government is playing a dangerous game by refusing to force any company that makes or uses toxic chemicals to have a plan in place to prevent them from getting into the environment, a lawyer for the Canadian Environmental Law Association said Monday.

Joseph Castrilli said it was profoundly disappointing that Liberal and Conservative MPs voted on Monday against amending the Canadian Environmental Protection Act to make pollution prevention plans mandatory for all chemicals listed as toxic under the act.

On Monday, the committee discussed an amendment from Green Party Leader Elizabeth May to make pollution prevention plans mandatory for all toxic substances. May, following advice from the Canadian Environmental Law Association that now dates back more than 20 years, tried to change the wording so such plans would be required in every case.Climate Barometer newsletter: Sign up to keep your finger on the climate pulse

He said CEPA also allows the government to regulate a substance including banning it outright, "which is the most effective and powerful way to achieve pollution prevention." Toxic spills and disposals must be reported to the federal government. The association analyzed the reports on 32 cancer-causing toxic substances, including arsenic, benzene, lead, asbestos and mercury. It found companies have done a good job reducing the amount of toxic substances leaking into the air.

If you ever feel stupid just remember that there are people who actually think that masks are protecting them against airborne viruses.

So no pollution plan for chemicals needed to produce EVs. 😉

This picture reeks of soy

Yes.. there is...that's where the beurocrats and govts have been off the rails for years, your alcohol regimen should be applied to those chemicals that brown envelopes, or political armtwisting keep allowing over the threshold,( ooohh, just a little bit won't hurt ya)

But they will have a pollution plan. Take CO2, Liberals say it's bad and they will eliminate it, but they belch it out globe trotting their lies.

Sounds like he’s opening up a pile of lawsuits.

This guy has to stay 500M away from any daycare or school

Maskers 😆

What about the toxic covid shot?

Where is his. Mask

As he allows China to strip mine northern Quebec!! And take away your poutine forks ! What a phoney extremist!!!

What if the team running the country are the toxic substance

The biggest toxic chemical is the one with the beard in the picture.

He is an idiot and there time is ending !!

Translation: Only the ones we see fit not the ones liberal donors make.

Is he talking about the Covid vaccines?

Lol look at all the people in masks! WTF what a joke

Worst government in Canadian history.

He is right.

Good gawd. That's like saying we do not have to list every toxic chemical on the MSDS safety sheet.

Why is Canada listening to this ex-con? He's so toxic people have to wear mask around him. WEFpuppet

especially ones from the lieberals environmentally friendly china

This is mind-boggling coming from the tree hugging liberal government. Every toxic chemicals should have a plan. There should be a plan for the toxic liberals.

Do people not see the blatant class separation in this photo? Not only do people not see it, but somehow legitimize it in their heads. People willingly showing their submissiveness to government

He’s the group member of crimes and corruption

This minister is toxic hence all the masks, lol.

Look a eco terrorist on the front page of CTV being celebrated no less

But they expect EVERYone to inject a toxin ….

Yet these guys are still screaming no more oil

no,eh?

Somebody buy this man a haircut and a shave!

Is there a pollution plan for toxic, corrupt liberals?

How about a plan for a very toxic government?

Ever actually see the Yukon Dredge Tailing rows? It is so bad (too much gold left behind also) that it is a heritage item, hands off.

🤦‍♂️

Carte Blanche for China compliments of The Harper Agreement.

Beaverton IRL

Just oil?

Actually, they really do need a pollution plan for every toxic chemical - it's called 'due diligence'.

This is wrong. 🤨

Translation, Quebec is starting to mine for the minerals needed for EV’s and they won’t tolerate the feds interfering in that process. In this country it’s only ok to go after the oil and gas sector because it only impacts Alberta and Saskatchewan

Politicians will decide

Picking and choosing Classic lib mentality Just like 'picking' to run on promises of electoral reform and abandoning first past the post elections, then 'choosing' not to pursue it because 'it would be too divisive' More divisive than claiming all your citizens are racist?

This guy is a dork

OTTAWA - The liberal federal government is playing a dangerous game by refusing to force any company that makes or uses toxic chemicals to have a plan in place to prevent them from getting into the environment

That make no sense

So some chemicals are good I take it

Really?

Trudeau hires criminals (Guilbeault) and Trudeau inspires criminals with the Liberal soft on crime Legislation . Disgusting.

Just plastic straws. All lip service from a guy who used a plastic bowl to get that haircut

Yet they'll destroy the economy over a gas that isn't a pollutant.
