Carney's proposal removes impact assessments on interprovincial pipelines, makes it easier to destroy fish habitats, and exempts select projects from the Species at Risk Act.
Public comments are open until June 7:

'The Species at Risk Act was passed in 2002 to protect species like the southern residents and to meet Canada’s commitments to protect biodiversity. No government since then has tried to weaken it' ... until now.
'To achieve the Act’s purposes of preventing extinction and providing for recovery, [the Species at Risk Act] prevents a minister issuing a permit for a project or activity that will jeopardize a species very survival or its ability to recover.'
Mark Carney is trying to change that.
'Carving out an exemption to allow extinction would copy a feature of the U.S. Endangered Species Act, where a committee nicknamed the “God squad” can override extinction protections. Recently, under U.S. President Trump, the “God squad” authorized risking the extinction of rare whale and sea turtles for oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.'

"Trading oil for orcas is a bargain Canada can't afford"
"If the [Species at Risk] Act is weakened to allow risk to this iconic West Coast population, no species, from caribou to monarch butterflies, will be safe.... It’s not too late to demand a path forward that preserves our natural heritage"

Deborah Preuss, pcc“It’s always ‘Hey, take Zuck to Davy Jones Locker this, pop Peter Thiel a 100 feet into the air and then eat his liver that—when are you land whales gonna finally step up to these guys yourselves?” asked J-Pod matriarch Hy’shqa. “Have you guys taken a turn bashing your head into a rich bastard’s yacht even once? No, but you want us to keep doing it. You’re really gonna just keep asking my endangered ass to handle this?"

The government’s proposal, which is open for public comments until June 7, was lambasted by environmentalists for removing impact assessments on interprovincial pipelines, for allowing project construction to begin before impact decisions are made, for making it easier to destroy fish habitat, and for granting cabinet the ability to exempt specific projects from the application of the jeopardy test for species at risk.
Tell Carney to stop this here:

Mark Carney's proposal to legally allow projects to go ahead even if they result in an entire species going extinct is directed at projects, such as ports and pipelines, that jeopardize the existence of BC's endangered southern resident killer whale population:

Jeff HoganGood morning from Seattle!
Ms. Que BanhNew #research aims to bring underwater noise’s true impact on killer whales into focus.
Extended periods of time at sea are necessary to collect the data that will bring us closer to understanding – and protecting – killer whales.
Our #cetacean #scientists are preparing for an ambitious 2026 field season aboard Raincoast’s Sailing Vessel Achiever. #RaincoastConservationFoundation has joined forces with #EarthSpeciesProject , a #nonprofit research lab using machine learning to advance our understanding of #AnimalCommunication. At the heart of this project is a deceptively simple idea: to watch and listen at the same time. The team aims to uncover how killer whales use sound to coordinate movements, share prey, and maintain social bonds – to ultimately understand and mitigate how noise pollution interferes with these processes.
