| M-15 — September 16, 2025 — Louis Villeneuve (Brome—Missisquoi) — That: |
| (a) the House recognize that, |
| (i) the Government of Canada has committed to conserving 30% of territory by 2030 in order to address biodiversity loss and strengthen the resilience of our ecosystems, |
| (ii) in the Eastern Townships, approximately 91% of the territory consists of private land, 63% is covered by forests, wetlands and waterways, and more than 130 endangered species have been identified, |
| (iii) the voluntary conservation of private land is a key lever for achieving this national objective, |
| (iv) the Ecological Gifts Program (EGP) has enabled many landowners to contribute to the protection of invaluable natural environments, |
| (v) recognized conservation organizations must finance their day-to-day operations and long-term stewardship costs that are generally not eligible for government programs (e.g., due diligence, legal and transaction costs, monitoring, restoration, reports, governance), |
| (vi) the increase in the number of projects multiplies these operating costs and creates a structural funding deficit, making philanthropic monetary donations essential to maintain and accelerate the pace of conservation, |
| (vii) tax parity between in-kind donations (land, easements) and monetary donations to recognized conservation organizations would ensure fairness among donors, secure operational funding, and stimulate large-scale protection of natural environments; and |
| (b) in the opinion of the House, the government should, |
| (i) recognize the importance of increasing the federal tax credit granted to financial landlords who make an ecological donation through the EGP, |
| (ii) recognize the importance of granting a tax credit equivalent to the monetary donations made to recognized conservation organizations to support the operating and stewardship costs of protected land, |
| (iii) consider amending the Income Tax Act to ensure tax fairness among the different types of conservation donations, with a view to reaching the biodiversity protection targets the government has already set. |
