Op-Ed: Ottawa is scrapping Canada’s greenwashing rules. This is a mistake
"The government’s position assumes that it is a bad thing that companies have dialed back the scope of their environmental claims. But, this might actually mean the law is working as intended, curbing unsubstantiated claims and restoring credibility to the marketplace."
Continuing the dialogue on the 2025 Canadian budget’s actions to change Bill C-59, Wren Montgomery joined Julien Beaulieu and Jennifer Quaid to write an Op-Ed for The Global and Mail.
The trio explains why the government’s claims of the law having the opposite effect—and decreasing corporation environmental action—are unsubstantiated and too early to make a call on.
They recommend specific changes necessary to clarify the law, rather than a full reversal of it.
