Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are several technologies nearing commercialization that could result in coal-fired power plants having reductions and emissions of their greenhouse gases by 90% and virtual elimination of the rest of the emissions that are associated with them--sul

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As my colleague Mr. Martin said, being able to replace some of the fossil fuel component of our fuels, whether in the gasoline stream or diesel fuel or heating oil, with a renewable component like ethanol or biodiesel allows us to make some significant e

Environment committee  Mr. Chairman, in the context of looking at the 20% reduction from 2006 by 2020, there is carbon dioxide capture and storage included for a substantial portion of the oil sands emissions.

Environment committee  One of your colleagues asked that question earlier.

Environment committee  That's okay. I would anticipate that the 2005 data should be available in the next little while. Whether it's two weeks, three weeks, or four weeks, I don't know.

Environment committee  That is a target date for submissions. That's not the obligatory date.

Environment committee  I do not believe the report is ready. It's not something that's my domain. I think there's a bit more work to do on it.

Environment committee  Yes.

Environment committee  We do have estimates of sectoral and national emissions based on some fuel-use statistics and that type of thing. What Cécile is referring to is that for 2004 we have very good data across all of the sectors, at a level, you can understand, at a facility basis as opposed to aggre

Environment committee  As Cécile was saying, the 20% reduction by 2020 is across the economy. It includes the regulations; it includes the other things that were indicated in the regulatory framework: the government's intention to regulate motor vehicles starting with the 2011 model year, the energy ef

Environment committee  Sir, are you referring to filing our 2005...?

Environment committee  No, it's 2005.

Environment committee  No, those have not been filed yet. We anticipate they will be shortly.

Environment committee  There are a couple of other countries that I can't remember. We're a little bit late, but not very late.
