Federal biofuels budget fails to meet parity needs
An open letter presented at a Calgary Agricore United meeting urges Canada to match U.S. tax incentives for biofuels. It argues for 10 cents per litre ethanol and 20 cents per litre biodiesel credits, saying without parity no new plants will be built and rural Canada loses jobs and value. It calls on Prime Minister Harper and Finance Minister Flaherty to act before February 9.
