The Canadian Parliament is currently considering Bill C-33, which provides a $2.2 billion subsidy for biofuels and requires that all gasoline include 5% biofuel content by 2010. The bill could come to third and final reading any day.
Research into biofuels (also known as agrofuels), has raised very serious questions about their impact on the world’s food supply. To download a report, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

TAKE ACTION NOW! Urge your MPs to vote against Bill C-33.
