Toxics Use Reduction in Ontario

After Texas, Ontario is the biggest polluter in North America. What better place to follow the leadership of Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, and the European Union and pass a law to reduce toxic emissions and support green technologies?  CELA has worked alongside colleagues in the health, environment, and labour sectors focused on cancer prevention and community right-to-know, and wrote a model law for toxics reduction in Ontario. CELA has continued to analyze the development and now the implementation of Ontario's legislation and related regulations on toxics reduction in this light.
