Liens and Tax Arrears Workshop (Ottawa, 2005, Mar 09)
05/31/2005
The final report from this workshop, Greening Canada's Brownfields: A National Framework for Encouraging Redevelopment of Qualifying Brownfields through Removal of Crown Liens and Tax Arrears, is now available. This framework has been prepared to assist the Government of Canada and provincial and municipal governments interested in redeveloping brownfields. It outlines an opportunity for governments in Canada to encourage redevelopment of many of the country's estimated 30,000 or more urban brownfield sites through a coordinated, practical and nationally consistent approach to removing Crown liens and tax arrears on qualifying properties.
The report will be going to the appropriate ministers in the Federal and Provincial governments. The CBN will be following up on activity related to the report and will be monitoring progress in its implementation. Updated information will be available on the CBN website.
The report is available in English and French on the Canadian Brownfields Network website on the Research & Publications page:
Greening Canada¡¯s Brownfields: A report on recommendations for the Removal of Crown Liens and Tax Arrears (English) - L¡¯¨¦limination des Privil¨¨ges de l¡¯¨¦tat et des Arri¨¦r¨¦s de Taxes (French), by the CBN and NRTEE, March 2005
