I think there is a long list of areas where it would be much better for the government to spend money in prote

Finance committee  Mr. Chairman and honourable committee members, thank you for inviting the Green Budget Coalition to speak to you today. The Green Budget Coalition, active since 1999, is unique in bringing together the expertise of 22 of Canada's leading environmental organizations, that collect

Finance committee  Thank you very much. Mr. Chairman, honourable committee members, I would like to thank you all for inviting the Green Budget Coalition to speak to you today. The Green Budget Coalition has been active since 1999. It is really unique in bringing together the expertise of 20 of C

Finance committee  I have a little of it. They're recommending, I think, roughly $800 million. There are three funds together that total in the range of $1.4 billion to $2.3 billion over three years. I know this has been a challenge with the Green Budget Coalition. It's been talked about for years,
