Mr. Speaker, Statistics Canada does not publish location, facility or establishment-level information for the details of all known blending operations in Canada, nor the countries of origin of the renewable feedstock, nor information on the percentage of renewable fuel used in Canadian blending operations originated from each country.
Statistics Canada publishes monthly aggregated statistics for Canada, province or territory on the supply and disposition of petroleum and other liquids in Canada in table 25-10-0081 of “Petroleum and other liquids, supply and disposition, monthly” on statcan.gc.ca. Data are available for net production, imports, stock change, net inputs, exports, products supplied and ending stocks of petroleum products, hydrocarbon gas liquids and other liquids, including renewable biofuels. This table includes data on blender inputs of fuel ethanol and renewable fuels except ethanol, for example, biodiesel.
Statistics Canada publishes monthly aggregated statistics for Canada on the activities of all establishments engaged in the production of renewable biofuel liquids in table 25-10-0082 of “Renewable fuel plant statistics, supply and disposition, monthly” on statcan.gc.ca.
