Submission to Federal Ministers supporting the Implementation of a Green and Transition Taxonomy for Canada On July 10th, PIAC provided comment to Ministers Freeland, Guilbeault and Wilkinson supporting the implementation of a Green and Transition Taxonomy for Canada, building upon the work of the Sustainable Finance Action Council (SFAC) and echoing the sentiments of Canada's Clean50’s open letter to government. Establishing a Canadian Green and Transition Taxonomy will help provide the confidence and transparency that investors need to make decisions that are consistent with Canada’s climate objectives and transition pathways, as well as organization-specific climate action plans or net-zero commitments.

As Indigenous businesses, development corporations and business organizations pursue growth and build infrastructure, China’s growing market poses unique opportunities. With a rising consumer base and an increasing demand for natural resources, China presents immense potential for Indigenous enterprises looking to diversify and expand.

Local government play a vital role in shaping their communities. They operate with a degree of fiscal, legislative, and executive autonomy, allowing them to make critical decisions that directly impact the lives of residents. While collaboration with national and provincial Government exists, local authorities possess the power to address specific needs within their jurisdictions. #localgovernment #financialmanagement #fms
