Environment Canada, which references some Statistics Canada data in its annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories stated it still needed to review “ available information and assess its potential use”. The annual GHG report by Environment Canada is mandatory and required under the Canadian government’s international climate change commitments

Data released this spring by Environment Canada indicate Manitoba's greenhouse gas emissions were at 19,500 kilotonnes in 2011, down by one per cent over 2010. Current reductions are nowhere near the promise to shrink emissions in Manitoba to levels mandated by the Kyoto Protocol. Manitoba’s emissions in 1990 were18,300 kilotonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions and in 2000 it was 21,000 kilotonnes.

Manitoba Minister of Environment and Conservation, Gord Mackintosh said Manitoba's Kyoto promise was in part thwarted by federal inaction on climate change.
