Updating the Clean Water Act
19-Sep-2025
We consider this promise to be in progress. The government has indicated that it’s planning on starting public consultations on the Clean Water Act’s update like it has for the Clean Air Act’s update.
The Liberals took that logic and ran with it, pointing out repeatedly that the province just launched public consultations on updating the Clean Air Act and will soon do the same for the Clean Water Act.

We consider this promise to be in progress. The Clean Air Act is being reviewed and the government is organizing public consultations.
The committee spent Wednesday hearing from witnesses about how the province should update the Clean Air Act, which was adopted in 1997.
Last week the province launched broader consultations on the update, which was promised in the Liberal government’s campaign platform last fall.
(…) The government is also inviting written submissions about the update to the act and will hold public consultation sessions next month.

We consider this promise as still being pending. Indeed, no law has been passed since Holt came to power on this subject.

Traces of this promise can be found in the mandate letter addressed to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Gilles LePage. Mandate letters define ministerial objectives. Therefore, this promise remains an ongoing priority, and we will monitor its implementation.
