PROPOSED AMENDMENTS ON NOTICE

Mr. Weaver to move, in Committee of the Whole on Bill (No. 2) intituled Greenhouse Gas Industrial Reporting and Control Act to amend as follows:

SECTION 1, by deleting the text shown as struck out and adding the text shown as underlined:

Attributable”, in relation to greenhouse gas emissions, means attributable under the regulations to an industrial operations;

and in accordance with the ISO 14064 standards and the United Nations Framework Convention on climate change regulations.

Mr. Weaver to move, in Committee of the Whole on Bill (No. 2) intituled Greenhouse Gas Industrial Reporting and Control Act to amend as follows:

SECTION 1, by deleting the text shown as struck out and adding the text shown as underlined:

Carbon dioxide equivalent” means the mass of carbon dioxide that would produce the same global warming impact as a given mass of another greenhouse gas, as determined in accordance with the regulations;

the amount of carbon dioxide emission that would cause the same integrated radiative forcing, over a given time horizon, as an emitted amount of a greenhouse gas or a mixture of greenhouse gases. The equivalent carbon dioxide emission is obtained by multiplying the emission of a greenhouse gas by its Global Warming Potential for the given time horizon. For a mix of greenhouse gases it is obtained by summing the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions of each gas. Equivalent carbon dioxide emission is a common scale for paring emissions of different greenhouse gases but does not imply equivalence of the corresponding climate change responses.

Mr. Weaver to move, in Committee of the Whole on Bill (No. 2) intituled Greenhouse Gas Industrial Reporting and Control Act to amend as follows:

SECTION 1, by deleting the text shown as struck out and adding the text shown as underlined:
