Petition:
Implementation of a carbon offset tax credit

Petition text

WHEREAS the Government of Québec has set ambitious net zero targets that will likely be difficult to achieve within the desired timeframe;

WHEREAS the means currently available to citizens to participate in this net zero effort are limited;

WHEREAS such citizen participation could be factored into the calculation of net zero targets to set out by the Government of Québec;

WHEREAS any fiscal or financial incentive granted to citizens would certainly encourage their participation in this environmental effort.

We, the undersigned, ask the Government of Québec to :

  • implement a new non-refundable tax credit that would allow citizens to claim the amounts (for example, up to $500 for individuals and $2,000 for businesses) invested into carbon offsetting through recognized organizations practising reforestation on Québec territory;
  • certify organizations that may be the subject of such claim;
  • make the list of these organizations available to citizens on a dedicated website.

The signing period for this petition is over.


Signing deadline : April 24, 2023
