To wrap up then, the government will work with municipalities as part of a new commitment to expand urban parks, so that everyone has access to green space. This will be done over a period of five years, and will protect a quarter of Canada’s land and a quarter of Canada’s oceans, using nature-based solutions to fight climate change, including the planting of two billion trees.
The government will ban harmful single-use plastics next year and ensure more plastic is recycled. And the government will also modernize Canada’s Environmental Protection Act.
