PIPSC has submitted recommendations to the legislative committee reviewing Bill C-39, the Building Canada Strong Act. We’re raising concerns about the bill’s potential impact on scientific integrity, environmental protections, Indigenous rights, and workers’ collective bargaining rights. We’re calling for: 

  • environmental assessments based on sound scientific evidence 
  • adequate resources for federal regulators
  • meaningful consultation with Indigenous Peoples
  • changes to protect workers’ right to strike, and more

We cannot build Canada strong by weakening the workers, expertise and science-based institutions that keep it strong.
