Carney government 'not working' to enshrine nature targets into law | CBC News

Despite the Carney government's parliamentary majority, Canada's junior nature minister said she has no plans to back up recent commitments

Despite a parliamentary majority, the Carney government has no plans to enshrine recent commitments to protect the country's waters and lands into federal legislation, said Canada's junior nature minister. "Right now, we are not working on that," said Nathalie Provost, the state secretary for nature, in French at the House of Commons environment committee.  In 2024, the Trudeau government introduced the Nature Accountability Act, meant to hold the government accountable for achieving the so-called 30x30 nature targets, along with international commitments through the United Nations.

Protecting Canada's Lands, Waters, and Economy

Canadians are worried about meeting our basic needs; governments must prioritise employment and economics.

And the best way to generate sustainable jobs is to build our economy on a foundation of environmental responsibility.

Cannibalising nature for short‑term profits would only hasten long‑term catastrophe.

I spoke with The Narwhal’s Ainslie Cruickshank, about whether the federal government is rising to the moment.

Nature is the Solution, Not the Problem

Canadians support faster environmental reviews. We need businesses to receive prompt decisions on industrial proposals.

But as The Guardian reports, the federal government plans to accelerate its reviews not by increasing its own efficiencies, but by lowering public standards.

Its plans would create new “Federal Economic Zones” where established nature protections would not apply, and they would empower Ministers to license businesses to wipe out endangered species.

Nature is not an impediment to economic development; environmental assessment is the “credit check” before we write the loan. It is due diligence, fiduciary responsibility, and the only way to build prosperity that endures.

We can not build our economy by laying waste to our country.
