Conservative

  • Enforce the law against elver poaching in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick

    “Canada First Conservatives believe the government should enforce the law and hold those responsible accountable. Only through such measures can order be restored and the scientific and conservation efforts necessary for a sustainable fishery and a thriving environment be upheld. After the lost Liberal decade, Nova Scotians have reached their limit.” — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

We don't have any Bloc policies on Conservation.

NDP

  • Pass a biodiversity accountability law with measurable targets to protect at least 30% of high-carbon, high-biodiversity lands, freshwater, and oceans by 2030

    "We will put in place an ambitious nature plan to halt and reverse biodiversity loss in Canada. This includes passing a biodiversity accountability law informed by an expert panel with measurable targets for protecting at least 30% of high-carbon, high-biodiversity lands, freshwater and oceans by 2030." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19
