The Government of Canada. 

This is the starting point for information on Members of Parliament, government departments, and federal agencies.

The Green Lane
The Green Lane the national site for Environment Canada, with a wealth of information and links on national environmental issues.  Special sections include:

The Green Lane -- Ontario
The Ontario Region of Environment Canada has its own website, with sections on Ontario programs and activities.

Our Great Lakes: Our Great lakes is part of Environment Canada's Green Lane.  It provides useful information on the Great Lakes and binational strategies for cleaning up the lakes. 

State of the Environment  
The SoE section is excellent and has some free information. You'll need to subscribe to get complete access and a cd rom or hard copy of the SoE report ($35 - $50). Not a bad deal for an on-line eco-researcher.

National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) 
The NPRI provides information on the on-site releases to air, water and land, on transfers off site in wastes and on the recovery, reuse and recycling ('3Rs') of 176 listed substances. The NPRI is the only legislated, nation wide, publicly accessible inventory of pollutant releases and transfers in Canada, providing information on a facility-by-facility basis. Anyone in Canada who manufactures, processes or otherwise uses any of the NPRI-listed substances in quantities of 10 tonnes or more per year, and who employs 10 or more people per year, must report releases or transfers in wastes of the listed substances.

Strategis
Strategis is Industry Canada's comprehensive source of information on business sectors in Canada, including environmental management and resource sectors.

Current Bills: The Parliamentary Internet site contains information on current government initiatives, including new bills. Look under "Parliamentary Business" and then "Government Bills", or "Other Bills".
