National Strategy Respecting Environmental Racism and Environmental Justice Act
  • This bill, called the National Strategy Respecting Environmental Racism and Environmental Justice Act, requires the Minister of the Environment to develop a national strategy to promote efforts across Canada to address the harm caused by environmental racism. The strategy must include a study on the link between race, socio-economic status, and environmental risk, as well as measures that can be taken to advance environmental justice and assess, prevent, and address environmental racism. The Minister must consult or cooperate with interested persons, bodies, organizations, or communities to develop the strategy and ensure that it is consistent with the recognition and implementation of the rights of Indigenous peoples. The Minister must also prepare and table a report on the national strategy in Parliament every five years after its completion.
