Progress reported on Canadian Environmental Protection Act
The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), now under review by a House of Commons Special Committee, is the first major federal environmental statue introduced in over a decade. It represents both a consolidation of existing federal environmental legislation and a charting of new directions for federal environmental law. Existing federal statues consolidated in CEPA include the Environmental Contaminants Act, the Ocean Dumping Control Act, the international air pollution and fuels regulation elements of the Clean Air Act, and the nutrients regulation part of the Canada Water Act. Also included are the powers to establish environmental guidelines for federal departments and agencies from the Department of the Environment Act.
