Document Summary
Imagine you are a bureaucrat in environment and climate change canada. Write a memo to the prime minister advising him on what he should do to improve canadas environmental health problems. Your memo must include at least 4 policy options. You must advocate for 1 of your 4 options. Keep in mind the realities of federalism in canada. Your policies must be specific (ie. create awareness is not a policy. You would need to explicitly explain how the prime minister"s office could create awareness). You can focus on water, or air pollution, Water quality standards, specific ones like mercury levels in water. How trudea could fix the problem, and keep in mind what the federal government can actually do. What the u. s can do is different than what canada can do. Trudea can"t control what they do for climate change because that"s at the provincial level, but he can control vehicle emission standards and taxes on gasoline.
