Institutional structures and policy outcomes: The "Americanization" of environmental regulation in Canada.
Green, Andrew James.

Institutional structures and policy outcomes: The "Americanization" of environmental regulation in Canada. - 159 p.

Adviser: Cass Sunstein.

Thesis (J.S.D.)--The University of Chicago, 1997.

Since the early-1980s the Canadian style of regulation has come under attack from environmentalists who have argued that it fosters regulatory capture and under-regulation of environmental risk. In response to this criticism Canadian governments since the mid-1980s have moved towards the American regulatory model. However, instead of learning from the difficulties which have been experienced in the U.S., Canadian governments have taken environmental regulation down an unfortunate path by merely grafting elements of the U.S. system onto the Canadian regulatory structure without understanding their possible effects.

520 $a Since the early-1980s the Canadian style of regulation has come under attack from environmentalists who have argued that it fosters regulatory capture and under-regulation of environmental risk. In response to this criticism Canadian governments since the mid-1980s have moved towards the American regulatory model. However, instead of learning from the difficulties which have been experienced in the U.S., Canadian governments have taken environmental regulation down an unfortunate path by merely grafting elements of the U.S. system onto the Canadian regulatory structure without understanding their possible effects.
520 $a One method suggested by environmental groups for balancing the power of industry is the creation of greater rights of judicial review of environmental policy decisions. However, the U.S. experience with judicial review has shown that it does not improve environmental decision-making. Fortunately, despite what the politicians and many commentators have stated, there has been no real increase in the legalization of environmental regulation in Canada.
520 $a There has, however, been a significant increase in the ability of the public to participate in environmental decision-making in Canada. Rights of public participation have existed in the U.S. since the 1970s which, in combination with the greater centralization of environmental policy, have led to more stringent regulation than in Canada due to a greater incentive for regulators to respond to public concerns. However, while such participation is often valuable, these incentives have led U.S. regulators to respond to irrational public demands in certain cases. The examples of regulation of sulphur dioxide, automobile emissions and pulp and paper effluent in Canada and the U.S. are used to illustrate this potential for irrational results.
520 $a Because no changes have been made to the underlying structure of policy-making in Canada, the addition of these public participation rights risks over-regulation when public demand for control is high without reducing the possibility of under-regulation when public interest is low. A new structure of environmental policy-making is needed to permit participation by all parties affected by regulation without creating incentives for irrational environmental policy.
