Environment of Canada
Of the factors caused by human intervention that can affect this environment, activities that sustain the economy of Canada such as oil and gas extraction, mining, forestry and fishing are influential.Meanwhile, a ban on single-use plastics, forming a reforestation plan and formally protecting some of Canada's land and oceans is supported by both the LPC and the NDP.[8] There are eight forest regions in Canada: Acadian, Boreal, Carolinian (Deciduous), Coast, Columbia, Great Lakes-St Lawrence, Montane, and Subalpine.[12]For instance, the Ministry of Ontario has developed a program that consists of teaching students to create a sustainable future, not only at school but also in their daily life.[15][17] Because of its possible effects on the environment, the idea encountered with rapid opposition, legal challenges, and protests from First Nations and environmental groups, which delayed the process of constructing and operating the pipelines.[18] This transaction would be a financial loss and not a profit because it is most likely that no one will buy this pipeline from the Canadian government because it will be too expensive to run it[18] Instead of finishing the project and spending billions of more dollars, that unspent money can go forward to clean energy.According to a rough estimate, Canada could spend that amount of money that is supposed to be spent on the pipeline and more than double its current solar capacity, which is now installed at about 3,000 MW.[20][21] CEPA is designed to deal with toxic substances, most specifically the concerns about them and how they affect the environment and the people, and it is based on the regulations that were originally written in Environmental Contaminants Act (ECA).[21][22] CEPA united environmental regulations that existed on a federal and provincial level, and now these authorities have an outline on how to take care of the environment responsibly.
