The Hill Times: Canada has a Chance to Lead on the World Stage with an Improved Nature Accountability Act
This law is really important because it could help protect Canada’s natural places and animals. Bill C-73 aims to change that by making sure the government follows through on its promises to protect nature. It would give the Nature Strategy (aka the National Biodiversity Strategy) real power, making it enforceable by law. This is a big moment for Canada. By passing and improving this law, our country could lead the world in protecting nature.
Nature on the Hill showed how important it is for people who care about the environment to work together. With the help of Kristen, Senator Galvez, and Akaash, we’re one step closer to making sure Canada’s nature is protected for future generations.
“We are now at a pivotal moment where Canada can advance a Nature Accountability Act that is precedent setting and timely.” – Senator Rosa Galcez, Kristen Walters and Akaash Maharaj
