It\u0027s entirely up to Guilbeault and Duclos how an environmental rights framework will operate
Parliament only provided four requirements for this environmental rights framework, and they don’t tell us much. The framework will need to be informed by the principles of “environmental justice,” the avoidance of disproportionate harm to vulnerable populations, the principle of “non-regression” and the principle of “intergenerational equity.
We already have a tool to deal with harm caused by big polluters: lawsuits. Presumably, this new federal mechanism would find another way outside the courts to require compensation to be paid. It sounds nice, but it very well could lead to greater cost and less certainty for the parties involved.
