Proposed amendments to Bill C-50: The Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act

Bill C-50 aims to create sustainable jobs and advance a net-zero economy in Canada.

The following proposed amendments to Bill C-50 seek to improve the bill's accountability, inclusivity, and integration with Canada's climate policies.
