Environment committee  . In your presentation, you spoke of the new principles being proposed. When you speak about principles, these are intergenerational equity, prudence, the polluter pays principle, internalization of costs, openness and transparency, the contribution of aboriginal peoples, collaboration

Environment committee  Thank you very much. One of our colleagues today used the phrase “polluter pays“, and I strongly object to that. The implication is that you're polluters. In my previous life I managed environmental licences, and I know very well that modern industry does not pollute. It's

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act   and implementation of a world-class tanker safety system. This included modernization of navigation systems, enhanced area response planning, and ensuring that polluters pay for the spills and damages caused by accidents in their operations. As a result of this legislation, on top of Canada's

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act   capacity in aboriginal communities and ensured polluters pay for spills and damages. What we should be doing is building upon that successful safety record. Let us build more. We should be harnessing Canadian ingenuity and the great skills that our pilots have on the west coast. We

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  , and ensuring polluters pay for spills and damages. These were meaningful changes while still supporting our energy sector in Canada. I want to remind the House that there is already a voluntary exclusion zone of 100 kilometres for oil tankers travelling from Alaska to Washington state

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act   operated under strict regulations and environmental protections. These measures included modernizing Canada's navigation system, enhancing area response planning, building increased marine safety capacity in first nation communities, and ensuring that polluters pay for any spills

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we support Bill C-57 and the sustainable development strategy. Throughout the member's speech, I heard a number of phrases used, such as quality of drinking water, pollution prevention, polluter pays, a results-based approach

It also

Export and Import Permits Act   agree with in Bill C-57. They are certainly rooted in the work done by the Conservative government, such as instilling the polluters pay principle and a number of tangible things that will have benefits. They will show that everyone in our country, including corporations, will need

Export and Import Permits Act  . The only country to actually use chemical weapons is now chairing the body to prevent the use of chemical weapons. What we should do is work on the sustainable development goals, but also take ownership of our own house. The polluter pay principle does that. When it comes to the 90

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act   on preventing spills in the first place and cleaning them up quickly if they did occur, while making sure that polluters pay. Hypothetically, the government could modernize Canada's marine navigation system and have Canada take a leadership role in implementing e-navigation in our tankers

Environmental Restoration Incentive Act   the polluter-pay principle in Canadian law. Bill C-221 reinforces the standard of polluter pay and protects taxpayers from the potential burden of billions of public dollars needed for remediation and reclamation. The federal government’s finance department confirms that this proposal

Environmental Restoration Incentive Act   for remediation and reclamation, to come from the private sector. Bloc MPs urged the polluter pay principle. Yes, the Conservatives enshrined it in law, but the fact is that voting against my bill goes against that principle, ignores the realities of small and medium-sized oil and gas

Environmental Restoration Incentive Act   environmental targets. Bill C-221 does exactly those things, but deliberately limits the use of public funds by enabling the lion’s share of financing to go specifically for remediation and reclamation by the private sector. The Bloc members urged the polluter pay principle, which, yes
