David Anderson, former Liberal environment minister for Jean Chrétien: it saddens him to think Carney's proposed changes could override “principles that I thought we’d established.”

Those principles include acknowledging that all species have an intrinsic right to exist, a right recognized in the preamble to the Species at Risk Act, which says wildlife “has value in itself.”

#Canada will be setting itself up for failure, both at home and globally, if it lacks a national approach to protecting wildlife and at-risk species, he warned.

Mark Carney's proposal removes impact assessments on interprovincial pipelines, allows construction to begin before impact decisions are made, makes it easier to destroy fish habitats, and exempts select projects from the Species at Risk Act.

Public comments are open until June 7:

@atomicker The questions are so loaded and only serve up one choice, ultimately - make the projects go ahead, period. They are fascist, eco-destroyers cloaked in PR "handling", thinking they're so clever while doing it.
