Forestry

Sustainable Forests

An Alberta Liberal government will support a strong, sustainable forestry industry.

Work closely with forest industry operators to ease the blow from the collapsed U.S. housing market, the high Canadian dollar, and the impact of pine beetle.
Examine a tax credit for new and recent machinery and equipment installed to improve efficiency and environmental performance.
Support the development of biomass energy projects that use wood fiber, including electrical generation at forest manufacturing mills.
Re-regulate electricity (as mentioned earlier).
Work with industry to streamline forest regulatory system.
