Caccia chairs the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development of the House of Commons — Lincoln and Kraft Sloan are also members — and the three have used this committee to push for more government regulatory control on a wide range of technological development, including pesticide usage and biotechnology.
To this stage, their influence has been countered by others within government who recognize that larger bureaucracies and slower approvals of new technology do not necessarily equate to environmental improvement.
