Outlook: Emissions Reduction Plan, Bill Issuance

CANADA
  • SEPH payroll report for Jan -- largely overlooked by the main payroll report for Mar on Apr 8, the last major input before the BoC decision on Apr 13.
  • Bill issuance for 98-d (C$6.45B), 182-d (C$2.4B) and 364-d (C$2.4B).
  • Environment Minister Guilbeault tables a new GHG emissions plan in the morning, as part of the goal to reduce emissions by 40-45% below 2005 levels by 2030. CTV notes that Canada has issued at least 11 plans and set 9 different emissions targets since 1988 but has yet to meet one.
