Protection of the environment is the shared responsibility of the federal and provincial/territorial governments. Although municipal governments also play a significant role in environmental protection by passing by-laws related to zoning, garbage disposal, and water use, these notes focus on federal and provincial statutes.

Historically, environmental concerns were dealt with under tort law. Canada now takes a stakeholder approach, which considers the broadest community of interested persons rather than the narrow rights of people harmed by a specific action.
