Canada faces real economic pressures, and Parliament must act urgently to strengthen our economic resilience and national sovereignty. However, rushing through flawed legislation will only create legal uncertainty, stall major projects, and harm the ecosystems we depend on.

On October 27, Nature Canada submitted a formal brief and targeted legislative amendments to the Legislative Committee studying Bill C-39, the Building Canada Strong Act. We laid out clear, practical fixes to blunt its worst impacts:

• Limit politicians’ power to bypass safeguards for nature
• Uphold the role of science and experts in environmental review
• Protect the species and landscapes that have defined Canada for hundreds of years

What can you do?

The Prime Minister and his cabinet have to move fast, but the Senate of Canada was built for moments like this.

As our chamber of sober second thought, senators have the constitutional power to fix dangerous legislation and ensure the laws protecting air, water, and species (including us) are not gutted behind closed Cabinet doors.

Don’t let Cabinet bypass the laws that protect our lands, waters, and wildlife. Send a letter to the Senate today and tell senators to fix Bill C-39 or send it back.
