Manitoba is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, a vigorous and healthy environment and a diverse and fascinating cultural and historic heritage. With the establishment of the Manitoba Round Table, the government will continue to ensure our resources are sustained.
Sustainable development is more than just a catch word or passing phase.
Sustainable development is a common sense approach to economic growth, environmental protection, human health and safety which takes into account the strong connection between the health of people, our environment and the strength of the economy. The more Manitobans reduce the separation between environmental, health and economic decision making, the more successful we will be at implementing sustainable development. The Manitoba Round Table is now consulting Manitobans on the protection, development and use of our wild animal and plant resources. This is part of Manitoba's overall Sustainable Development strategy and a component of the strategy for Land and Water. By preparing and implementing a comprehensive strategy, Manitoba's natural resources will continue to serve the needs of present and future generations.
