Development is necessary to Canada's economic stability and the financial well-being of Canadians. Since economic decisions can have direct impacts on the environment, development must be undertaken in a sustainable manner that does not deplete our natural capital.
This approach relies on the participation of citizens industry, and governments in activities that achieve results without jeopardizing the future of our resources. Adopting it will also sharpen Canada's global competitiveness.
