¨ The measures federal, provincial and territorial governments are taking to address PFAS in the environment

¨ How PFAS are being addressed in environmental investigations, clean ups, and land transactions, and

¨ Provide a brief overview of cases in which Canadian courts and tribunals have considered PFAS-related matters so far.
