Winnipeg Centre MP Leah Gazan has introduced private members Bill C-232, known as the Climate Emergency Action Act.
Once the bill is adopted, it will ensure that a safe, clean, and healthy environment is recognized as a human right in Canada.
Gazan says people across the country are calling for action on the climate emergency and she shares their concerns.
The bill passed first reading last week, and was seconded in the House of Commons by the NDP Critic for Environment and Climate Change Laurel Collins.
