Urge Canada to Strengthen Regulations of Toxic Chemicals!
To the Honourable John Baird, Minister of the Environment,
I am writing to express my concern over the presence of toxic chemicals in the bodies of Canadians, including our children. A study just released by Environmental Defence shows that our kids are full of harmful chemicals - of 68 possible toxic chemicals tested for, a staggering 39 were detected in our children.
It's time we said enough is enough and did something about the thousands of chemicals that are dumped into the Canadian environment and our bodies. The opportunity exists now to address the shortfalls of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) during its mandatory five-year review, which began in the fall of 2005 and will continue through to 2007.
I urge the federal government to acknowledge the evidence of human contamination revealed in Environmental Defence's Toxic Nation studies. Please take action to strengthen the regulation of toxic chemicals in Canada by strengthening CEPA.
Specifically, I join with Environmental Defence in calling on the federal government to:
- Set aggressive timelines for the virtual elimination of toxic chemicals
- Make industry accountable for its chemicals
- Regulate toxic chemicals in consumer products
- Reduce pollution in the Great Lakes Basin
Thank you for your time today.
Sincerely,
