The pan Canadian climate plan due this week will outline policies but not provide a detailed 2030 emissions balance sheet. Federal sources say the document will show measures and targets without a transparent path to 524 million tonnes of greenhouse gases, prompting calls for a clearer overall emissions picture from ministers and environmental groups.
