The global COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented
crisis, causing significant disruptions to businesses across all
sectors. The ever-evolving nature of the pandemic and the numerous
statements and orders issued by all levels of government in Canada
makes navigating the legal landscape of this new reality
challenging. Whether business operations are ramping up, slowing
down, or halting altogether, businesses need to be aware of their

Environmental regulators across Canada have taken different
approaches to dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. While some
regulators have pressed pause on certain regulatory obligations,
others have confirmed that regulatory obligations remain in
effect.
