Tell the Senate to Amend Bill C-5!

Call on Senators to amend Bill C-5 to ensure that:

– Any project which holds Canada back from meeting our climate goals is ineligible to be considered in our national interest,

– Any project must have the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent of impacted Indigenous communities to be considered in the national interest, and

– That Bill C-5 must not allow projects to circumvent important federal environmental statutes like the Species at Risk Act, the Fisheries Act, or upcoming regulations like the emissions cap on corporate oil and gas emissions.

We cannot protect Canada’s sovereignty by making the same mistakes as the U.S. Government, no matter how well intentioned. We cannot claim to care about sovereignty while denying the right of Indigenous communities to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent.
