🚩🚩🚩The Federal Government is on its way to passing new legislation that would give certain companies, including Big Oil, a free pass to violate environmental, labour, safety, and privacy laws.🚩🚩🚩 The Canadian parliament is about to vote on Bill C-15, the Budget Implementation Act. Hidden within this bill are provisions that would allow federal ministers to exempt ANY entity from the application of any provision of any federal law, other than the Criminal Code. This exemption would apply to any project or activity that a federal minister deems is “in the public interest.” At a time when federal leaders are propping up toxic pipelines and destructive mining projects as so-called "nation building" projects this new legislation would roll out the red carpet for the fossil fuel industry at the expense of people and the planet. 🚨🚨🚨 This is a critical moment. This section of the bill is currently being re-negotiated and this is our chance to speak up and ensure it's fully scrapped. 🚨🚨🚨 https://actionnetwork.org/letters/say-no-to-c-15s-undemocratic-power-grab
