    PAPER #2: The History of the Right to a Healthy Environment in Canada EXECUTIVE SUMMARY David R. Boyd The History of the Right to a Healthy Environment in Canada The omission of environmental provisions from Canada’s original Constitution, the British North America Act, 1867, should come as no surprise, since ecological concerns were far less urgent in the 19th century. The earliest constitutional references to the environment involved protecting natural landscapes and beauty (e.g., Italy 1948, Madagascar 1959). In the 1970s, environmental concerns began entering national constitutions with greater frequency. Pioneers included Switzerland (1971), Portugal (1976), and Spain (1978). Proposals to include the right to a healthy environment in the Canadian Constitution date back to 1969. Sparked by Pierre Trudeau’s proposals for constitutional reform, a Special Joint Committee of the Senate and the House of Commons on the Constitution of Canada (known as the Molgat-MacGuigan Committee) held hearings across Canada. Many experts and citizens urged the committee to recommend that environmental rights and extensive federal powers to protect the environment be incorporated in the new constitution. Law professor Noel Lyon of McGill University recommended that a new Constitution recognize environmental rights: The critical condition of many parts of our environment, and the growing pressures on it resulting from rapid growth of population and technology indicate a need for early recognition in our fundamental law of environmental rights. … We must somehow ensure that we establish a priority for [environmental] rights that is equal to that of the political and legal rights set out in the proposed Charter of Human Rights.
