June 06, 2023
  • Bill S-266 aims to strengthen reporting requirements for sex offenders in Canada.

Bill C-337

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 06, 2023
  • Bill C-337, also known as the Textile Waste Reduction Strategy Act, aims to develop a national strategy to reduce textile waste in Canada. Canadians currently send around 500 million kilograms of textile waste to landfills each year, even though more than half of this waste could be reused and almost a quarter could be recycled. The clothing and textile industry is responsible for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and microplastic pollution. This bill seeks to address these environmental issues by implementing measures such as facilitating textile recycling, extending the lifespan of textiles, educating consumers about waste prevention, holding polluters accountable for textile waste, and exploring financial incentives for sustainable supply chain practices. Other provisions include removing sales tax on repair services, imposing labelling requirements for recycled content and chemicals used in manufa
