Editor: 91原创 citizens need to know about their MP鈥檚 role in chairing the recent hasty and incomplete of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The parliamentary committee that Mark Warawa chaired made 20 recommendations, preparing the way for the minister of finance鈥檚 budget announcement that environmental reviews will be speeded up, and many believe will be weakened.
Meanwhile, changes that would remove habitat protection from the Fisheries Act are also being considered. Taken together, these two actions constitute a huge threat to our environment.
In the north, Enbridge鈥檚 Northern Gateway pipeline will have environmental obstacles to approval removed, while here in 91原创 developers won鈥檛 have to worry anymore about those pesky little fish-bearing streams.
Warawa鈥檚 constituents should be appalled.
