BC Government: A One Year Environmental Review

In its first year the provincial government made sweeping changes to budgets, laws
and policies that will impact the BC environment for years to come. It has reduced
the scope and influence of government in British Columbians’ daily lives, initiating
full reviews of programs, legislation and regulations, budgets and administrative
tribunals. Has the government met its commitment to environmental management
based on sound science, the highest standards of environmental protection, cleaner
water, openness and accountability? What has happened to environmental
protection in BC in a year of unprecedented change?
