Green Budget Coalition Recommendations for 2009 Budget
The Green Budget Coalition, comprised of twenty of Canada’s leading environmental and conservation organizations, has released its set of recommendations for the upcoming 2009 Federal Budget. In “Meeting the Challenge”, the Coalition outlines three priority recommendations, and six recommendations on other important issues, that are believed to be the foremost budgetary opportunities to advance environmental sustainability in Canada. Together, these recommendations aim to help Canada reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, conserve our oceans and lands, and safeguard the country’s waters and watersheds.
