OTTAWA – Depuis plus de 20 ans, la population canadienne demande des mises \u00e0 jour de la Loi canadienne sur la protection de l'environnement qui permettraient d'am\u00e9liorer la gestion des substances toxiques et de prot\u00e9ger les gens contre les pratiques des entreprises qui constituent un danger pour l'environnement et la sant\u00e9 humaine. Aujourd'hui, les d\u00e9put\u00e9s verts ont \u00e9t\u00e9 contraints de voter contre les mises \u00e0 jour propos\u00e9es par le gouvernement, car elles constituent dans l'ensemble un pas en arri\u00e8re. <\/p>
« Le projet de loi S-5 affaiblit notre r\u00e9gime de gestion des produits chimiques toxiques tout en omettant de mettre \u00e0 jour les sections de la LCPE qui traitent de la pollution de l'air, de l'immersion en mer ou du contr\u00f4le des organismes g\u00e9n\u00e9tiquement modifi\u00e9s et ne fait que pr\u00e9tendre cr\u00e9er le droit \u00e0 un environnement sain », a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 la chef du Parti vert Elizabeth May. <\/p>
Mme May, qui a travaill\u00e9 sur le projet de loi initial en 1988, a longuement consult\u00e9 des ONG telles que l'Association canadienne du droit de l'environnement et Nature Canada afin de pr\u00e9senter 26 amendements aux \u00e9tapes du comit\u00e9 et du rapport du projet de loi. Ces modifications auraient notamment permis de maintenir une liste de substances toxiques \u00e0 \u00e9liminer, d'inclure un droit \u00e0 un environnement sain qui soit applicable et de garantir la possibilit\u00e9 d'une participation significative des Autochtones et de la population aux processus d'examen. Cependant, l'industrie a exerc\u00e9 de fortes pressions contre ces changements et les Lib\u00e9raux et les Conservateurs ont finalement uni leurs forces pour rejeter tous les amendements. <\/p>
« Le droit \u00e0 un environnement sain doit \u00eatre plus qu'un simple slogan de surface », a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Mike Morrice, d\u00e9put\u00e9 vert de Kitchener-Centre. « Cela fait plus de 20 ans que nous attendons cette opportunit\u00e9. Il est donc profond\u00e9ment d\u00e9cevant que le parti au pouvoir ait rejet\u00e9 tous les efforts que nous avons faits pour transformer le projet de loi en un texte qui aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 un pas en avant. » <\/p>
Le projet de loi va maintenant \u00eatre transmis au S\u00e9nat, o\u00f9 il sera probablement adopt\u00e9 rapidement, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 que le gouvernement a d\u00e9j\u00e0 rejet\u00e9 la tentative pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente du S\u00e9nat d'am\u00e9liorer la l\u00e9gislation d'une mani\u00e8re similaire. <\/p>
