	MSN Encarta - Sierra Club
		The Sierra Club has been instrumental in the designation and protection of several United States national parks and preserves, public land set aside by the Congress of the United States that has special scenic, historical, or scientific value, such as Yosemite National Park in California and Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.
		The Sierra Club was founded in 1892 by a group of outdoor enthusiasts led by John Muir, a Scottish-American explorer, writer, and naturalist.
		Consequently, the Sierra Club had an operating budget deficit of approximately $1.5 million and was forced to reduce its staff by 10 percent in 1994.

	Sierra Club of Canada v. Canada (Minister of Finance) (T.D.) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In maintaining that the remedies sought by the Sierra Club were not available to it, the intervener again relied upon issues that were within the Court's discretion when deciding whether to grant relief, and as such were more appropriately addressed in the context of a consideration of the merits of the application for judicial review.
		Hence, I shall refer to the Sierra Club as the applicant, although it is, of course, the respondent in this motion, and to AECL as the intervener and the Ministers as the respondents, although they are the applicants for this motion.
		The Sierra Club takes the position that the CEAA and the environmental assessment process that it mandates are important legal and administrative tools for ensuring a degree of transparency and public accountability that will help to avoid the making of decisions that may prove to be environmentally costly.

	Canada Needs Clean Hands to Get Clean Air
		Raising Canada's profile on air pollution in the United States may well lead to criticism from the US Congress, the affected states, and US coal-burning industries, because Canada is now lagging behind in the control of emissions from coal-fired power plants.
		Canada is hypocritically demanding action on power plant emissions in the United States that it does not intend to put in place in Canada.
		Unless Canada is prepared to back up its demands with action at home, intervention in the EPA court case could actually lead to a weakening of the EPA rules—an outcome we all want to avoid.
