Dear Paov,
This month we’re celebrating two major wins for the environment and the right to speak out! Last week, the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act was

passed in the House of Commons . And this Tuesday, the BC government tabled long-awaited

legislation to protect British Columbians from strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPP) – stay tuned for our analysis of the bill.
Read on below for West Coast’s take on possible Kinder Morgan court outcomes, BC environmental assessments, new provincial climate targets and more.

Federal Oil Tanker Moratorium Act passes in House of Commons

Last week, West Coast was thrilled to see that Bill C-48, the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act, was
https://cl.S7.exct.net/?qs=8a3fc85650db76868a2cf5bc00088c25930f838e9878fac6e1182524269fdd60ffd600d7b7640feb47575ec148e96a2bc833b782b7cefbee
passed in the House of Commons.
After advocating for this law for over 40 years, we are celebrating the tireless efforts of Indigenous nations, northern communities... and other allies who have fought so hard for a legislated oil tanker ban on the north Pacific coast. We hope the bill passes swiftly through its final stage in the Senate!

Everyone is eagerly awaiting a decision from the courts on Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline, and what happens next will shape BC’s future. Ongoing court challenges present serious legal risks for the project – risks that were ignored yesterday when the federal government

Looking for accountability in BC’s Climate Change Accountability Act

The provincial government's new Bill 34 claims to give BC a new Climate Change Accountability Act. But while it sets new greenhouse gas reduction targets, it misses the “accountability” part.

Bill C-68 is entering the final stages in the House of Commons, ushering in important amendments that will restore lost protections under the federal Fisheries Act. These new amendments will have lasting implications for fish and their habitat – and we owe it to them to get it right.
After testifying before the Parliamentary committee reviewing the bill, Staff Lawyer Linda Nowlan
