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.
