| Objets poursuivis : Renseignements rétrospectifs : | The CRFA has engaged in a number of activities to influence government policy over the past six month with the objective of improving the economic and regulatory environment for ethanol and biodiesel producers in Canada. Specifically the CRFA has worked with the federal government to implement its commitment to require 5% average renewable content in Canadian gasoline and diesel by 2010. This has involved communicating the potential impacts of changes in tax policy and financial incentives for the ethanol and biodiesel industry, as well as possible regulatory pathways for requiring renewable content in fuel. The CRFA has communicated with the federal government about programs affecting ethanol and biodiesel producers, such as the Biofuels Opportunities for Producers Initiative (BOPI), the Ethanol Expansion Program (EEP) and the National Bio-Ethanol Program (NBEP). The CRFA has participated in pre-budget consultations to advocate tax and program changes that would encourage the production of ethanol and biodiesel in Canada. The CRFA has communicated with the federal government on the potential impact of a countervailing duty on US corn on the Canadian ethanol industry. Types of contact include telephone calls, emails, circulating reports and studies, face-to-face meetings, testimony before Parliamentary committees and advertising. | ||||||||||||
