Bill S-222 would change the rules so the government uses more wood when it builds things.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about a proposed law called Bill S-222. It wants to change how the government buys things for its projects. Right now, the government buys things like steel and concrete for building new offices or fixing roads. This proposed law says the government should try to use wood more often when it can. This could mean using wood to build new government buildings or using wood in other projects. If this proposed law passes, it could help the Canadian forestry industry. It might also be better for the environment because wood can store carbon. Citizens should care because it could affect jobs in the forestry sector and how the government spends their money.
