Why not develop a Fisheries Act regulation?
Environment Canada intends to develop a regulation addressing wastewater effluents under the Fisheries Act as part of the long-term strategy. To be effective, the regulation under the Fisheries Act will need to be comprehensive and be developed taking into account the need to harmonize the regulatory framework with the provinces and territories. The work to develop a Canada-wide Strategy for municipal wastewater effluent is currently under way at the CCME.
