The 2023 federal budget is an important step in accelerating Canada’s transition to a low-carbon future and the protection of freshwater across the country. Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA) is pleased to see significant investments in freshwater, renewable electricity, and healthy communities.
In response to the federal government's pre-budget consultations, CELA has provided recommendations related to Great Lakes and freshwater protections for consideration in Budget 2023.
CELA worked with Coeuraj to build stronger Indigenous inclusivity within the Healthy Great Lakes program, and develop greater connections to Indigenous land and water stewardship initiatives and with Indigenous groups.
