In absence of federal action, a proper review of the environmental impacts of the proposed highway will not occur and dozens of federally listed species at risk could be harmed, perhaps irrevocably.
Research has shown construction of the highway could negatively impact as many as 29 species of animals that are considered 'at risk' by the federal government, as well as 122 species of migratory birds and fish habitats in over 100 waterways.
Failure to protect these species could lead to meaningful reductions in their chances of long-term survival and recovery of these species at risk in Canada.
Bill 212 allows for construction of Highway 413 to begin before consultation with Indigenous groups or an environmental assessment is complete.
