Canada's Green Plan

At the end of 1990 the Canadian government announced a $3 billion five-year environmental action plan called the Green Plan. The initial objective was to design a planning process for ecological resources that would change the structure of decision making in government. This initiative did not succeed and the Green Plan became little more than a source of funds for "soft" policy areas such as research and public education.

In 1993, following a change of government, the Green Plan was gradually abandoned. Full details are provided in the attached account.
