Question

What do you mean by Provincial Legislation?

Answer 1

All provinces have a general environmental protection law. Under Ontario’s Environmental Protection Act, which is overseen by the Ministry of the Environment, liability for environmental offences generally arises from one of four categories of activity. Each of the provinces also has an assortment of other laws covering more specific environmental matters. For instance, in Ontario, other provincial environmental laws include those related to air pollution, water conservation and pollution, pesticides, and environmental assessments.
