We are gradually becoming aware of sustainable development as development that is economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable. With expanding human populations, urbanization, poverty and increasing exploitation of natural resources, the linkages between economy, society, and environment have multiplied.

Topics covered are: launching a baseline study; interim steps and priorities (levelling the energy playing field by reorienting direct subsidies & reforming the tax system; federal fiscal regime & sustainable mining; tax treatment of virgin & recycled materials; sustainable agriculture); request for government response; dissenting opinion of the Bloc Québécois; and, Reform Party minority report.
