Quebec: Beaconsfield demands that Province Legislate Wetlands Protection

Beaconsfield, Quebec’s city council is calling on the provincial government to adopt Legislation specifically aimed at protecting Quebec’s wetlands.

The city council notes it has now been almost 10 years since the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change (MDDELCC) committed to adopting legislation for the protection of wetlands. According to the council, government inaction continues to "allow wetland destruction in exchange for financial compensation".
