2006 September Report of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development

September 2006 Report—Chapter 1

Exhibit 1.9—The automotive industry agreement may only slow the rate of growth in greenhouse gas emissions from light-duty gasoline vehicles

The auto industry agreement may only slow the rate of emissions growth for light-duty gasoline vehicles (cars and trucks). In addition, there is a discrepancy between Natural Resources Canada's projections used for the agreement and Environment Canada's national inventory report.
