3. Create healthy businesses

To ensure strong, Canadian businesses, in addition to carbon-cutting measures that will promote new industries and jobs, we will:

  • Assist small businesses through Green Venture Capital Funds and tax shifting.
  • Renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.
  • Support the family farm. Provide GST rebates and compensation for protecting ecological services, such as wildlife habitat.
  • Encourage production and consumption of Canadian agricultural products, especially organically grown.
  • Harness local knowledge to protect fish stocks. Ban offshore draggers and support only sustainable aquaculture.
  • Work with the forest industry to protect jobs and develop value-added products.
