Carney government scrapping #greenwashing rules via 2025 federal budget. It's "being framed as necessary to reduce “investment uncertainty".

🚨👉🏻 i.e. Scrapping the "rules that gave Canadians a private right of action against deceptive marketing and required companies to substantiate their environmental claims"

⚖️ "The law is [has been] working as intended, curbing unsubstantiated claims and restoring credibility to the marketplace"

Ottawa is scrapping Canada’s greenwashing rules. This is a mistake

Canada should not back away from holding firms to account for what they say about the environment
