If I could, I will just add one thing to what Professor Elgie has said.
Another significant distinction between a private prosecution and the environmental protection actions that are available under this environmental bill of rights is that a private prosecution is always after the fact, after the environmental damage has been done, but the way Bill C-469 is drafted, it would actually allow environmental protection actions to be brought to prevent the environmental damage from occurring, which is of course in line with the objective of preventing damage.
Again, to return to Professor Elgie's point, it's much more efficient economically to prevent damage than it is to do cleanup and restoration.
