Appendix 2: Data Presented in Report

The aggregate energy use data presented in this report are taken from Statistics Canada's Report on Energy Supply-Demand in Canada (RESD). Differences exist between this report and Canada's Emissions Outlook: An Update (CEO Update) concerning the sector allocations of RESD energy use data. The CEO Update's sector allocation is based on Environment Canada's Trends in Canada's Greenhouse Gas Emissions 1990–1997, whereas this report uses a definition better suited for the purpose of energy end-use analysis. Some modifications to the original Statistics Canada data were required and are documented in Appendix A of Natural Resources Canada's Energy Use Data Handbook, 1990 and 1998 to 2004.
