Federal and provincial governments are advancing policy changes that could weaken species at risk protections and environmental safeguards in areas considered economically important.
Under the guise of cutting "red tape" and fast-tracking major development projects, like pipelines, transportation corridors, and industrial networks, governments are proposing to bypass critical environmental, Indigenous, and public reviews.
Healthy ecosystems:
✔ Support communities
✔ Reduce climate risks
✔ Sustain local economies
✔ Protect Canada’s future.
Weakening species protections creates long-term environmental and economic costs.
Join us to defend strong nature laws and ensure economic development does not come at the expense of biodiversity, habitat protection, and community well-being.
Your MP needs to hear clearly that Canadians do not support rolling back environmental safeguards in the name of speed or development. Nature protection is not a barrier to Canada’s future, it is foundational to it and these safeguards are not “red tape”.
Add your voice for nature now. Your letter will be sent to your federal MP and we will cc: the Prime Minister; Environment Minister; Minister of Fisheries, Minister Responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, Intergovernmental Affairs and One Canadian Economy, and Minister of Internal Trade; Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations; and Minister of Transport.
