Resumen

The present Regulations enact subsection 41(4) of the Environment Act. In particular, the Regulations lay down provisions relating to the Yukon Council on Economy and Environment. The Yukon Council on the Economy and the Environment (YCEE) was created in November 1989 and was the first legislated round table on the economy and the environment to be established in Canada. The purpose of the Council is to ensure that the economy and the environment are managed in a harmonious way and to raise public awareness of sustainable development issues. More specifically, the Council: reviews major government policies, strategies, legislation and programmes which affect the Yukon's economy and environment; works with industry, community and public sectors to promote development which meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs; advises on the implementation of the Yukon Economic Strategy and the Yukon Conservation Strategy; monitors the progress of the Yukon Conservation Strategy and evaluates its success in guiding sustainable development; holds public meetings, workshops and conferences on major economic and environmental issues; promotes public awareness and understanding of the connections between the environment and the economy; reviews and comments on reports relating to economic and environmental issues; and recommends research on sustainable development issues. The text consists of 9 sections.
