Table note 1

Physical flow accounts estimates for greenhouse gas emissions differ from those in Environment Canada's National Inventory Report because of differences in the methodology used to produce the estimates. See survey number 5115 for more information.

Table note 2

The estimate for water use does not include the use of water for hydro-electricity production.
