Environment Canada collaborates with other federal departments including the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Transport Canada to use the EDF in support of several pieces of environmental legislation such as the Federal Fisheries Act, the Canada Shipping Act, the Canadian Wildlife Act, among others. 2, record 3, English, - Environmental%20Damages%20Fund
