The State of Energy Efficiency in Canada – Office of Energy Efficiency Report 2006
This eighth edition of the State of Energy Efficiency in Canada serves as a quick guide to the policies and programs of Natural Resources Canada's (NRCan's) Office of Energy Efficiency. It describes the progress of Canada's economic sectors in improving energy efficiency and the contributions made by the programs of NRCan. Canadians have been making great strides in using energy more wisely, avoiding about $13.4 billion in energy costs in 2003 alone.

Federal House in Order – Annual Report on Emissions Reductions From Federal Operations, October 2004

The Government of Canada is taking action to address climate change and is demonstrating leadership by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within its own operations. The Federal House in Order (FHIO) initiative formally centralizes the Government of Canada's efforts to monitor, track and reduce its own emissions. Supported by lead departments Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada and Public Works and Government Services Canada, the initiative specifically targets 11 departments and agencies that together account for an estimated 95 percent of all Government of Canada emissions.

This Annual Report on Emissions Reductions From Federal Operations meets the Government of Canada's commitment to report annually on its progress in reducing GHG emissions.
