Work Groups

Senior officials establish working groups of experts from the federal, provincial, and territorial environmental ministries to accomplish specific goals, with the support of a permanent secretariat.  In most cases, group membership may include experts from other relevant government departments (such as Health).  Depending on the nature of the work, expertise from the private sector, academia, aboriginal groups and environmental and health public interest groups may be sought.  Our current working groups are

• Air Management Committee
• Climate Change Committee
• Soil Quality Guidelines Task Group
• Waste Management Task Group
• Water Management Committee
