Abstract: | A framework for economic impact analysis of sustainable development activities is used to assess the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP). Significant employment and income impacts are generated in rural Manitoba communities and Canada. In addition, positive annual net farm income changes have been generated. In Manitoba, the government share of total revenue required is 15%. U.S. sources provide 64%; non-government sources provide 8.4%; and the Government of Canada provides 12.6%. |
