In June, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) was amended for the first time in over 20 years. The most publicized amendment was the recognition that every individual has a “right to a healthy environment.” But even more significant for industry will be the changes to assessment and management of toxic chemicals, prohibited substances, and expanded government information powers.
This episode examines how CEPA works, why it took so long to pass the amendments, and what the changes mean for industry and individuals. How will they affect what substances are used in everyday products? Is this “right” to a healthy environment anything more than legislative greenwashing?
Diana Weir joins co-hosts Ailsa Robertson and Ted Brook for this episode. Diana is of counsel with the firm and her practice focuses on environmental law. She provides legal and strategic advice on environmental matters concerning Ontario, federal, and municipal legislation, everything from permitting to compliance. Diana is also a litigator and has defended clients charged with environmental offences, and has prosecuted environmental litigation claims by property owners.
CPD credits: This episode is accredited for one (1) substantive hour in Ontario and one (1) substantive hour in British Columbia.
