Women’s Submission to the Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources

This brief, submitted to the Senate of Canada’s Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources in 2019, supported the implementation of An Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act (Bill C-69). The submission supports the Bill’s inclusion of the “intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors” as a factor to be considered in Impact Assessments. It also calls for a requirement to consult specifically with Indigenous women and to ensure diverse women’s inclusion and participation throughout.
