Thank you.
During debate on Bill C-230 in the House, the government signalled its support for your bill. The government also highlighted areas where it would seek amendments to address some concerns it had with the bill. These included incorporating principles of environmental justice, which environmental racism is an aspect of; addressing issues that would be more appropriately taken on by the provinces or impact provincial jurisdiction; and providing certain flexibility in the development of a national strategy to avoid prejudging the outcome of the work that would be undertaken. Are you open to amendments to your bill in these areas?
