Canada’s Environmental Protection Act

Canada’s Environmental Protection Act (EPA) is a law that helps protect the environment and people's health by regulating the production, use, and disposal of harmful substances. It sets standards to prevent pollution, manage chemicals, and control waste. The act also aims to prevent environmental damage from industries and ensures that companies follow rules to minimize risks. It provides government authorities with the tools to enforce environmental protections and promote sustainable practices, balancing economic development with environmental and public health protection.
