A Green Economy for Canada: Consulting with Canadians

Abstract: 
Seeks to define a green economy and emphasises that it is not a separate entity from the main economy. There must be a link between social, economic and enviornmental policy. Canada must be a leader in the three pillars of sustainability, be a model for other stake holders, support green technology, and invest in green business. Canada should promote "Ecosystem Goods and Services" in order to develop a green economy.
