Statistics Canada's Material and
Energy Flow Accounts (MEFA) emissions estimates differ from the totals that
appear in the official Environment Canada submission to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change. This is due to adjustments that have
to be made to National Inventory Report (NIR) sectoring and definitions
in order to ensure consistency with the requirements of the Canadian System
of National Accounts. The MEFA include only the three main GHGs, namely carbon
dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, and do not include emissions from the
decomposition or incineration of waste. The Environment Canada NIR also reports
on emissions from hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride.
Canada's total GHG emissions including these other gases were 717 Mt
in 2002.
Note that
this amount includes the direct emissions due to household use of fossil fuels.
The amount of U.S. GHG emissions related to U.S. purchases of Canadian automobiles
is shown in Table 4 (7.5 Mt).

Census metropolitain areas (CMAs) consist
of one or more municipalities situated around a major urban core. A CMA must
have a total population of at least 100,000 of which 50,000 or
more live in the urban core. (See: Statistics Canada, 2007, 2006 Census
Dictionary, Catalogue no. 92-566-X for more information).
The residential price of electricity in Canada has risen by approximately 20%
between 2002 and 2010, with some provinces seeing an increase
of more than 30% during this time period. See: Statistics Canada, CANSIM
