We're in the @mtlgazette with @ACSQ_BCAQ on Bill S-5 / CEPA reform, ahead of Senate testimony this Thursday.
This legislation desperately needs updating, and S-5 needs to go further for env'l rights, protecting our communities and banning more toxics: https://t.co/7GjhxGpGRI

The time for the government to act is now! ''To curb or better stop this contamination, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, which regulates toxic substances, must be reviewed.'' Our editorial in La Presse for #InternationalWomensDay2022

There is still an hour left to sign on to our open letter to the government asking for a serious reform of CEPA.https://t.co/JHcVbYxRwP

This is it! The government has introduced Bill S-5 to reform CEPA but it needs seroius strengthening. Read and sign our letter to them to tell them how imortant it is! https://t.co/hwchS7a3Rt

Exposure to PFAS may increase #BreastCancer risk, and a new study found #PFAS in MOST waterproof mascara, liquid lipsticks, and foundations tested!

Contact your reps and urge them to support the No PFAS in Cosmetics Act! @NoPFASinCosmetics #SupportS2047

PFAS in lipstick and mascaras! This is disgusting.
Only one of the 17 Canadian products tested listed P-FAS on its ingredients. Clearly, our regulatory system for toxic substances does not protect us! #safecosmetics
