There are currently two pieces of environmental rights legislation that Blue Dot has helped ushered forward. In this next term of government, these must become priorities for the federal parliament:

  1. You can call on government to strengthen the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (Bill C-28),
  2. And advance legislation to combat environmental racism in Canada (Bill C-230).
