My second question relates to subclause 23(1), which reads as follows:
23. (1) Every resident of Canada or entity may seek recourse in the Superior Courts of the relevant province to protect the environment by bringing a civil action against the person who has contravened, or is likely to contravene, an Act of Parliament or a regulation made under an Act of Parliament [...]
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is this recourse to Superior Courts of the relevant province the usual reference in federal statutes? It seems to me that civil matters fall within provincial jurisdiction. Is this a common occurrence? Do you often see this in federal statutes?
