Support the Green Bill to Amend the Crown Lands and Forest Act

The Government of New Brunswick has to stop the spraying of glyphosate on Crown Land Forests.

David Coon introduced a bill to amend the Crown Lands and Forest Act in the Legislative Assembly on November 20, 2019. This bill will ensure that private woodlot owners’ wood be purchased through the wood marketing boards and ensuring that private wood makes up a third of the wood consumed by the mills.

This bill will also ban the aerial spraying of glyphosate on Crown land forests eliminating the risks it poses to ecosystems and species in our forests and waterways.

We want to see private woodlot owners be able to make a living and to be able to have a competitive edge against industry giants.

We are supporting local producers. We support healthy forestry practices.

Our Principles

>Living within Our Ecological Means

A culture of cooperation, caring and understanding is essential to ending violence in our society. Rehabilitation rather than vengeance must be the goal of our justice system.

> Local Self-Reliance

We must have the opportunity and the responsibility as citizens to contribute to the common good, which requires that all have the capacity to participate in community life.

> Real Democracy

Everyone must have equal access to the necessities of life and be treated with dignity and respect. Treaties with First Nations must be honoured.

> Social Justice and Equality

We must be able to participate in decisions that affect our lives and be guaranteed that our votes are reflected in the make-up of the Legislative Assembly.

> Active Citizenship

Our communities should be in control of their own destinies, supported by strong local economies, and sustained by local sources of food and renewable energy.

> A Culture of Peace and Respect

We must live within the ecological limits of the Earth, while meeting our needs without threatening our children's future or the survival of other species.
