Mr. Chair, rather than moving that amendment, I'm going to move the same wording, except I'm going to change the word “apply” to “uphold”.
The amendment I will move would be as follows:
That Bill S-5, in Clause 3, be amended by adding after line 13 on page 3 the following:
“(a.3) in relation to paragraph (a.2), uphold principles such as principles of environmental justice — including the avoidance of adverse effects that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations — the principle of non-regression and the principle of intergenerational equity;”
