Six environmental groups are suing two federal ministers over a delay in issuing an emergency-order recommendation to protect B.C.’s endangered killer whale population.
The legal action, filed Monday at a Vancouver federal court, said the failure of Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault and Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthillier to recommend an emergency order to cabinet represents an “unlawful” delay.
