If operations at a facility are terminated during the 2011 calendar year, the last operator of that facility is required to report for the portion of the 2011 calendar year during which the facility was in operation by June 1, 2012.

2. (1) For the purposes of determining whether a facility meets or exceeds the reporting threshold described in section 1, the following equation and explanatory notes listed in subsections (2) to (4) are to be used:

where

E = total emissions of a particular gas or gas species from the facility in the calendar year 2011, expressed in tonnes

GWP = global warming potential of the same gas or gas species

i = each emission source

(2) A person subject to this notice shall quantify emissions of individual species of HFCs and PFCs separately and then multiply the result for each individual species by the global warming potential for that species that is set out in Table 2 of Schedule 1.

(3) A person subject to this notice shall not include CO₂ emissions from combustion of biomass in the determination of total emissions for the purposes of establishing whether a facility meets or exceeds the reporting threshold. However, the person shall quantify and report CO₂ emissions from combustion of biomass as part of the greenhouse gas emissions information that is required under this notice, and the person shall indicate those emissions separately, as set out in the Reportable Information requirements in Schedule 4.

(4) A person subject to this notice shall not include CO₂ emissions from biomass decomposition in the determination of total emissions for the purposes of establishing whether a facility meets or exceeds the reporting threshold.

3. A person submitting a report in respect of a facility that meets the emission criteria above shall use quantification methods for estimating emissions that are consistent with the guidelines approved for use by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for the preparation of National Greenhouse Gas Inventories by Annex 1 Parties (Decision 18/CP.8), and the annex to that decision contained in FCCC/CP/2002/8.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the notice.)

In March of 2004, the Government of Canada initiated a phased approach to the collection of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related information. The program was launched through the publication of the first Canada Gazette notice in March 2004, which set out basic reporting requirements. This notice is the eighth in a series of notices requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. This notice is part of Canada’s effort to develop, through a collaborative process with provinces and territories, a harmonized reporting system that will meet the information needs of all levels of government, provide Canadians with reliable and timely information on GHG emissions and support the development of regulations.

Information to be reported on greenhouse gas emissions outlined in this notice is collected via Environment Canada’s Single Window Reporting (SWR) system that was launched in March 2010. The SWR system currently collects data for the National Pollutant Release Inventory and its partners (Toxics Reduction Act, 2009, of Ontario, Ontario Regulation 127/01, Chemistry Industry Association of Canada NERM Survey, and CCME National Framework for Petroleum Refinery Emission Reductions), Environment Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Program, and GHG reporting for British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. The SWR system is currently being considered for GHG reporting by other provinces. The use of a single system to report GHG emissions helps to reduce the reporting burden on industry, and the overall cost to government. The system requires industry to submit information that is common to multiple jurisdictions once, but also accommodates reporting requirements and thresholds that are jurisdiction specific.

Compliance with the Act is mandatory. Subsection 272(1) of the Act provides that

272. (1) Every person commits an offence who contravenes

• (a) a provision of this Act or the regulations;
  
• (b) an obligation or a prohibition arising from this Act or the regulations;
  
• (c) an order or a direction made under this Act;

…

Subsection 272(2) of the Act provides that

• (a) on conviction on indictment, to a fine of not more than $1,000,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than three years, or to both; and
  
• (b) on summary conviction, to a fine of not more than $300,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both.
  

Furthermore, with respect to providing false or misleading information, subsection 273(1) of the Act provides that

273. (1) Every person commits an offence who, with respect to any matter related to this Act or the regulations,

• (a) provides any person with any false or misleading information, results or samples; or
  
• (b) files a document that contains false or misleading information.
  

Subsection 273(2) of the Act provides that

273. (2) Every person who commits an offence under subsection (1) is liable

MIGRATORY BIRDS CONVENTION ACT, 1994

Notice with respect to temporary possession of migratory birds

In order to conduct a survey for avian viruses, the Canadian Minister of the Environment has issued a notice under the authority of section 36 of the Migratory Birds Regulations to vary the application of paragraph 6(b) of the Migratory Bird Regulations to allow for the temporary possession of found-dead migratory birds. A person is permitted to temporarily possess dead migratory birds to allow for “swift delivery” of such birds to provincial or territorial authorities for analysis. In all other circumstances, a prohibition against possessing the carcass of a migratory bird remains in effect. This notice comes into force for a period of one year from September 6, 2011. The Government of Canada is responsible, under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994, for ensuring that populations of migratory birds are maintained, protected and conserved.

The Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre coordinates Canada’s Interagency Wild Bird Influenza Survey. Information on where to submit found-dead migratory birds is available by viewing the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre Web site at www.ccwhc.ca/contact_us.php or by telephoning 1-800-567-2033. Guidance on precautions for the handling of wild birds is available from the Public Health Agency of Canada on its Web site: www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/influenza/fs-hwb-fr-mos-eng.php.
