The Government of Canada's plan to regulate both greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants from industrial emitters will pave the way for a cleaner, healthier environment.

Released on April 26, 2007, the Action Plan to Reduce Greenhouse Gases and Air Pollution will:

  • Impose mandatory targets on industry to achieve a goal of an absolute reduction of 150 megatonnes in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
  • Impose targets on industry so that air pollution from industry is cut in half by 2015.
  • Regulate the fuel efficiency of cars and light duty trucks, beginning with the 2011 model year.
    • Information booklet on the new regulations
  • Strengthen energy efficiency standards for a number of energy-using products, including light bulbs.
