OTTAWA—Federal deregulation—euphemistically called “smart regulation”—poses a serious threat to public health and the environment, says a new report released today by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
The study, by CCPA Executive Director Bruce Campbell and CCPA-BC Senior Economist Marc Lee, warns against federal efforts to place large hurdles in the path of new regulations for to protect the environment and human health.
The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
