Green Budget Coalition responds to Federal Budget 2010
Posted: 2010/04/06
The Green Budget Coalition (GBC), comprising 21 of Canada's leading environmental and conservation organisations, stated on March 5 that it is encouraged by the important investments in water and natural capital indicators in the 2010 federal budget, but disappointed overall that the budget did not include the actions necessary for Canadians to transition to a green economy and to protect our country's biodiversity and ecosystems. The GBC also expressed concern about the questionable changes to environmental assessments.
