OTTAWA - More than 50 of Canada’s top scientists and scholars are warning that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s marquee legislation aimed at fast-tracking major projects needs to be amended, or the federal government is risking “costly and potentially irreversible harm,” to the environment. In an open letter published Thursday, 56 fellows from the Royal Society of Canada outline six specific amendments they say need to be made to Bill C-39, the Building Canada Strong Act. The scientific experts write that while they support the bill’s central aim of streamlining project assessments, there are several clauses within the legislation that need to be altered or scrapped entirely. They say the changes are needed for the government to keep its promise to protect species at risk, delicate ecosystems, natural resources and human well-being. “Bill C-39, as drafted, really puts aside a lot of the environmental regulations and laws that we have in place in Canada to protect nature and protect our waters, protect our air,” said Dr. Sarah Otto in an interview with CTV News.
