Canada’s Action Plan

•Pre Kyoto efficiency and other measures

•Limits “Gap” to 199 Mt

•Business/Action plan 2000 ~ 65 Mt

•Focus on energy efficiency

•Business Action plan 2002 underway

•Business Plans position Canada for ratification

•Actions to date are not intended to close the gap

	Some of you may recall that a commitment to reduce Canada’s emissions to 1990 levels was made in the early 1990’s. Some actions were taken as a result which are believed to have slowed growth of emissions. Even so we were still left with a 200 Mt projected “Gap” in 1997. Canada has already initiated some more actions under the Business/Action Plan 2000 which tend to focus on energy efficiency.

	The plans implemented to date are not intended to close the gap. Rather they are intended to position Canada for ratification of the protocol.

	We can anticipate some more difficult and costly decisions will be needed to close the remaining gap of 135 Mt.
