Take action: We’ve submitted an e-petition calling on the federal government to pass a biomass investment tax credit in the next budget. We’re asking Canadian Citizens to consider signing the e-petition so Parliament will pass a biomass tax credit in the fall budget. This tax credit will incentivize the purchase of low-carbon biomass energy equipment. Why should you sign? Forest biomass — the leftover material from logging and sawmill operations — can be transformed into renewable, low-carbon energy. By using this forest waste productively, we help reduce wildfire risks, promote sustainable forest management, and create good jobs in rural and remote communities across Canada. This petition, sponsored by Gord Johns MP for Courtenay—Alberni in British Columbia, will help unlock an estimated $6 billion in investment in Canada’s forest sector and help create and sustain up to 600,000 jobs nationwide. You can find the online petition here.
