The Environmental Rights Caucus of the New Brunswick Environmental Network wishes to thank all those who supported this project and who know that the right to a healthy environment is crucial to our very survival.
We are obviously very disappointed and frankly somewhat astonished that the Legislators of New Brunswick have chosen to refuse to enshrine the Right to A Healthy Environment into Law. This refusal to work to adopt this legislation in a form that would guarantee that all current and future generations can count on them to act in a way that maintains a livable and safe environment, calls their priorities into question.
Bill 23: An Act Respecting the Right to a Healthy Environment may not become law at this time, but the failure to act to guarantee this right now, will not make the problem go away. The citizens of New Brunswick expect better from their Legislators. For more than 20 years a small group of New Brunswick citizens worked tirelessly to get this law passed. Young people now understand what is at stake, for them and their children. They will carry on, and eventually a law like this one will pass.
We therefore have every hope that in the near future, the right to a healthy environment will be acknowledged and legalized.
