STOP BILL C-39: Bringing the Land to Patty Hajdu
Advertisement
Drop in anytime for an afternoon of land-based activities to show Patty Hajdu what Bill C-39 threatens to destroy.
When: November 12 at 12:15pm to 5:00pm
Where: Patty Hajdu's Office, 3-705 Red River Road
Agenda to come. We will be hide tanning, art-building, dancing, sharing tea and food. Bring your own chairs, bring your own beads.
We are occupying Patty Hajdu's office with land-based activities while MPs are back in their ridings before the final vote on Bill C-39.
What is Bill C-39?
Bill C-39 lets industry bulldoze nature:
Bill C-39 imposes a one-year timeline to rush approval of new projects and allows projects to begin construction before doing environmental assessments. Projects would be exempt from federal approval processes under critical environmental legislation.
Bill C-39 is an attack on Indigenous rights:
Bill C-39 attempts to evade constitutional obligations by making it impossible for the Crown to meaningfully consult and accommodate Indigenous peoples and to obtain our Free, Prior and Informed consent when it comes to major projects that impact us and the land. Bill C-39 also pre-determines the approval of projects which threatens our ability to exercise our constitutional rights.
Bill C-39 creates sacrifice zones:
Bill C-39 creates "regions of national interest" where projects are automatically approved, no matter the cost to our communities, the environment, or our future. "Regions of national interests" would likely work together with Ontario's "special economic zones", essentially creating regions entirely exempt from provincial and federal environmental laws and compromising the constitutionally-protected rights of Indigenous peoples.
Bill C-39 threatens workers' right to strike:
According to the Canadian Labour Congress, Bill C-39 would "give the Canadian government broader unilateral power to end a legal strike than exists in any other G7 country."
