Policies or Program

• Canada's International Trade Policy: Encourage the completion and successful implementation of Nuclear Co-operation Agreements with countries that currently do not have such an agreement fully implemented with Canada.

• National recovery strategy for the woodland caribou pursuant to the Species at Risk Act (SARA): Advocate for the federal government to incorporate additional science-based data and information into the finalized national recovery strategy for the woodland caribou.
• Non-Resident Ownership Policy: Advocate for the implementation of the policy changes recommended for uranium mining in the final report of the Competition Policy Review Panel.
