Environment and Climate Change Canada (EC) ((フランス語:Environnement et Changement climatique Canada)), legally incorporated as the Department of the Environment under the ''Department of the Environment Act'' (R.S., 1985, c. E-10 ), is the department of the Government of Canada with responsibility for coordinating environmental policies and programs as well as preserving and enhancing the natural environment and renewable resources. The powers, duties and functions of the Minister of the Environment extend to and include matters relating to: "preserve and enhance the quality of the natural environment, including water, air, soil, flora and fauna; conserve Canada's renewable resources; conserve and protect Canada's water resources; forecast daily weather conditions and warnings, and provide detailed meteorological information to all of Canada; enforce rules relating to boundary waters; and coordinate environmental policies and programs for the federal government." Its ministerial headquarters is located in les Terrasses de la Chaudière, Gatineau, Quebec.〔"(Inquiry Centre )." Environment Canada. Retrieved on February 4, 2011.

The department is also responsible for international environmental issues (e.g., Canada-USA air issues). CEPA was the central piece of Canada's environmental legislation but was replaced when budget implementation bill (C-38) entered into effect in June 2012.〔() "Federal Government Releases Draft Legislation to Reform Federal Regulatory System."〕 Under the Constitution of Canada, responsibility for environmental management in Canada is a shared responsibility between the federal government and provincial/territorial governments. For example, provincial governments have primary authority for resource management including permitting industrial waste discharges (e.g., to the air). The federal government is responsible for the management of toxic substances in the country (e.g., benzene). Environment Canada provides stewardship of the Environmental Choice Program, which provides consumers with an eco-labelling for products manufactured within Canada or services that meet international label standards of (GEN) Global Ecolabelling Network. Environment Canada continues (2005–present) to undergo a structural transformation to centralize authority and decision-making, and to standardize policy implementation. == Hierarchy == * Minister * * Deputy Minister * * * Associate Deputy Minister * * * * Assistant Deputy Minister * * * * * Associate Assistant Deputy Minister * * * * * * Director General * * * * * * * Director * * * * * * * * Managers * * * * * * * * * Staff 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Environment and Climate Change Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
