Incentive measures in the Canadian National Forest Strategy |
| Description |
|
Under the Canada National Forest Strategy 1998-2003, a pressing need to remove disincentives and create incentives to sustainable management of woodlots is identified. The Framework for Action, inter alia, envisages the use of incentives to invest in woodlot management including appropriate taxation and woodlot management programmes. Furthermore, the implementation of suitable changes to the Federal Income Tax Act and to provincial and municipal taxation will contribute in a constructive way to investments in and fair returns from the sustainable development of woodlots. |
