The specific date when the 100-day period begins will be determined by the Conference of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol prior to 2014. [...] Other G7 countries, with the exception of the UK, increased their imports of oil and gas over the same period, thereby effectively exporting that portion of the emissions associated with the production of the fossil fuels they consume. [...] Regulating Transportation Fuel Efficiency of New Cars and Light Trucks The Government intends to regulate the fuel consumption of cars and light trucks sold in Canada under the Motor Vehicle Fuel Consumption Standards Act after the expiration of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the auto industry and the Government. [...] The Task Force will provide advice to the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta on how best to facilitate the large-scale deployment of this technology. [...] In addition to the levels in the table, provincial plans and actions are expected to lower Canada’s emission levels over the period of 2008 to 2012; however, it is premature to estimate the resulting emissions reductions in the context of this Plan.
