Cuts to Ministry of Environment undermining environmental enforcement
The announcement, in BC Budget 2010/11, of $69 million for justice and policing operations ignores the virtual collapse of the enforcement of BC's environmental laws, according to West Coast Environmental Law. The group asserts that past and new cuts to the Ministry of the Environment play a key role in an ongoing drop in enforcement of laws protecting BC's air, water and wildlife, and called for increased funding for environmental law enforcement.
