Yes, I think there is some overlap in the sense that the Canadian Bill of Rights now imposes an obligation on the Minister of Justice to examine the consistency of both government bills and regulations with the Canadian Bill of Rights.
Now, if this bill passes with the amendment to the Canadian Bill of Rights, that statute will include “the right to a healthy and ecologically balanced environment”. That is the overlap in the sense that under clause 26 of this bill, the Auditor General will have to examine government bills and regulations for compliance with this bill, which also includes the right to a healthy and ecologically balanced environment.
With the passage of this bill, that is something that both the Minister of Justice and the Auditor General would then be looking at.
