96.10 Tax Incentives for Sustainable Form of Energy
Whereas, Non-renewable sources of energy, such as oil and gas, are given substantial tax incentives; and,
Whereas, The environmental costs of such non-renewable forms of energy are not included in energy cost equations nor in the cost of their use to the public; and,
Whereas, Energy conservation technologies and renewable sources of energy are not given the substantive tax incentives that are allowed traditional non-renewable energy sources; therefore, be it,
RESOLVED, that The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada to:
- Give increased tax incentives for the development of renewable forms of energy and continue broadening the range of renewable forms of energy that receive a tax incentive;
- Phase out the incentives for environmentally non-sustainable energy sources.
