Introduction

In May, 2001 Environment Canada distributed a Discussion document entitled "Reducing the Level of Sulphur in Canadian On-Road Diesel Fuel" to parties with an interest in fuel issues. The cover letter invited parties to provide their views on the approach and design of new regulations to reduce the level of sulphur in Canadian on-road diesel fuel. Appendix A shows the list of issues included in that discussion paper.

This document responds to the comments that Environment Canada received on the discussion paper.

Excerpts of comments submitted by the Ministère des Ressources naturelles du Québec cited in this document were translated from French. Please refer to the copy of the Ministère’s letter distributed as part of the July 2001 package entitled "Submissions Received on the Proposed Sulphur in On-Road Diesel Fuel Regulations" for the original French version.
