Préambule
WHEREAS oil used in Québec and in the four Atlantic provinces is imported from overseas;
WHEREAS Canada has no strategic reserves of oil and energy;
WHEREAS Canada is greatly dependent on oil money to maintain a standard of living based on the overconsumption of resources;
WHEREAS the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), are of the opinion that “oil rent” should be saved to ensure economic stability;
WHEREAS Vision Green proposes measures to achieve the transition from the fossil economy to an economy based on the sustainable use of renewable energy sources, to implement a National Energy Plan for retaking control of our energy resources and ensuring that Canada's needs take priority over exports, to create a strategic hydrocarbon reserve to ensure an oil supply for Canada in times of crisis;
Dispositif
BE IT RESOLVED that the Green Party of Canada table a private member's bill in the House of Commons during the current term of government to force the establishment of a National Energy Security Plan, including:
