Tell your MP: Follow through on your election promises. Get to work for our environment!

Politicians promised to tackle key environmental issues when they asked for our vote during the federal election.

Now it's time to hold them to their word.

Canadians chose to not give any one party a majority in Parliament. This sends a clear message: MPs need to work together across party lines to build a safer, healthier future for us all.

To put Canada on a more sustainable path, all parties must work together and take the following immediate actions:

  • Reintroduce and pass legislation to strengthen the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and recognize your right to a healthy environment
  • Ban the export of thermal coal by 2023, including American coal, from Canadian ports
  • Introduce a corporate climate accountability law that requires Canadian companies, banks and financial institutions to align their business with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees
  • Introduce legislation to tackle systemic environmental racism and develop a strategy to address environmental justice in Canada

The next six months will be a crucial test of this government's ability to make real progress on the environmental crises we face today.

Take action today. Call on your MP to advocate for these environmental priorities in Parliament.
Subject line: Time for action on environmental crises

Target: Your Local MP , CC: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Minister Steven Guilbeault, Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister Jean-Yves Duclos

Congratulations on your successful campaign in the federal election.

As you prepare to return to Parliament, I urge you to put the fractious, partisan debates of the election behind you and get to work building a safer, healthier future for all Canadians.

Canadians chose not to give any party a majority of seats in Parliament. We expect all MPs to work together in Parliament to protect Canadians and the air, land, and water that sustain us all.

These are the immediate steps political leaders like you can take to meaningfully demonstrate the leadership and courage required to tackle the environmental crises that this country faces.

  • Reintroduce and pass legislation to strengthen the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and recognize your right to a healthy environment

  • Ban the export of thermal coal by 2023, including American coal, from Canadian ports

  • Introduce a corporate climate accountability law that requires Canadian companies, banks and financial institutions to align their business with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees

  • Introduce legislation to tackle systemic environmental racism and develop a strategy to address environmental justice in Canada


The next few months will be a critical test of Parliaments ability to deliver results that improve the lives of your constituents and the health of the environment that we all depend on.

It's now time to put partisan politics aside, roll up your sleeves and get to work building a sustainable Canada for everyone.
