CSEE\u2019s student-led social media campaign<\/h1>

Bill C-39<\/a> includes amendments that significantly weaken environmental regulations and Indigenous consultation <\/strong>while claiming to fast-track major infrastructure and industry projects. Beginning construction before a project is federally approved, permitting the destruction of fish habitat at the cost of vague offsetting fees and credits, and weakening protections for species at risk are just a few of the many concerning aspects of this bill. See ici<\/a> for details.<\/p>

Many scientists and grad students expressed these concerns earlier this year in response to the publication of a discussion letter about this legislation (Getting Major Projects Built in Canada<\/a>:\u00a0 See the CSEE’s response letter<\/strong><\/a> and a recent interview with some of our campaign organizers on CBC Radio<\/strong><\/a> for more information). The federal government mostly ignored this feedback and is now trying to force this legislation through quickly. Industry’s voice is loud. We need to level the playing field and speak up for nature!<\/strong> \ud83d\udce2\ud83c\udf31<\/p>

\u203c\ufe0f<\/strong>We are urgently calling on you<\/strong>, our fellow early-career researchers (students and postdocs, international** or domestic), to help us remind our MPs that environmental impact assessments protect something important, and that proposals to hasten development should not come at the cost of environmental regulation<\/strong>. We have strength in numbers\u2014your contribution directly bolsters the message that many people care about this issue. And more concerns shared = a greater chance of influencing MPs’ decisions!<\/p>
