We are less than a week away from election day. As voters get ready to head to the polls, 16 leading environmental organizations — including Ecojustice — sent a questionnaire to Canada’s five main political parties in March 2025 to see where parties stand on environmental issues, including environmental protections, nature- and climate-related issues, and environmental justice.
The initiative aims to provide voters with insights into how parties will tackle issues like fossil fuel pollution, biodiversity loss, Indigenous-led conservation and a clean electricity grid, if elected.
As Ecojustice’s Acting Executive Director, Kimberly Shearon notes, “while the United States’ unjustified trade war on Canada casts a long shadow over this federal election, the climate, pollution, and biodiversity crises rage on and promise to undermine the health, wealth, and security of all Canadians. Ecojustice challenges all parties to earn Canada’s vote with ambitious, courageous leadership that does not leave the environment, workers, or communities behind.”
View detailed responses or read through summary responses below.
Please note that the parties’ responses are reproduced below exactly as submitted, and have not been edited, translated, assessed or checked for accuracy.
Ecojustice is a registered charity, which means we must be non-partisan in our election related commentary. While we cannot advocate for or against any political party or candidate, we continue to advocate strongly for better environmental laws and policies that will build a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future for everyone in Canada.
Be sure to head to the polls on April 28 and vote.
And be sure to join us for a post-election webinar on May 7, where we’ll talk about opportunities and policy solutions to advance our environmental goals in the context of a new federal government.
