This month’s feature from the Canadian Environmental Law Archive is an April 1999 report written for the Environmental Agenda for Ontario Project by Mark Winfield (then director of research at the Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and Policy) and Paul Muldoon (then Executive Director of CELA).
The report, titled “Democracy and Environmental Accountability in Ontario” pointed to a dismantling of mechanisms for ensuring the legal and political accountability of the provincial government for the decisions it makes about Ontario’s environment and natural resources, and made a series of recommendations to restore public participation and government responsibility.
