This target needs to be more aggressive and at a sooner deployment. Private industries (oil, gas, automotive, transportation etc), need to be fully involved & engaged.
I drive a classic automobile to Show and Shines and help raise funds for JumpStaart etc. and use small engines, i.e., lawnmower, weedeater, rototiller, snowblower and chainsaw to maintain my property. This change to the amount in ethanol in gas could potentially destroy my car and equipment.

Ethanol enhanced fuel, even at the current 10%, is bad for some types of engines. Engines for things like generators, chainsaws, lawnmowers, weed eaters, ATVs, snowmobiles, off-road motorcycles and outboard motors burn out if they use fuels containing ethanol for extended periods of time.

The ministry is unnecessarily limiting the effectiveness of the CO2 reduction program by restricting the renewable content of gasoline only to ethanol.

This is all well and good but it is imperative to focus on subsidizing and developing other means of transport instead of trying to marginally increase the renewable content of gasoline.

There is a lot less energy in a litre of ethanol then in a litre of gasoline. So by increasing the ethanol content in gasoline it stands to reason that you will need more fuel to go the same distance. Burning more fuel will most certainly increase amounts of air pollution.

Considering the economic affect ethanol use as a dilutant in gasoline has it is not a wise, nor supportable, measure to increase the level. in fact it would be wise to eliminate it entirely.

900,000 plus Say NO!! This proposal for an increase in ethanol to 15% is a huge mistake and will cost tens of thousands of dollars to both collector car owners as well as collector vehicle businesses. The collector car hobby in Canada is well in excess of 450,000 documented owners.

The idea of increasing the ethanol content is not good!
It will decrease our fuel economy resulting in us drivers paying more at the pumps than we already are by having to refuel sooner!
It is shown in Brazil that fuel economy is terrible with ethanol based fuels.

RE: Increasing ethanol content in gasoline.
The science still says that it takes more energy to produce ethanol than what we get out of it. So there is little or no benefit to the environment. I am thoroughly against an increase in ethanol content.

I’m not in favour of this as most older vehicles are not designed to run on this stuff. It will require a separate pump to dispense it. Only with strict requirements to keep it separate from regular fuel, will this work. I believe that motorcycles and outboard motors will be a risk with this fuel.

This is an essential change and a step toward promoting a healthier environment for all. I support this endeavor whole-heartedly.
On behalf of my 10-month old daughter and all children who are our future.
Increasing ethanol or similar content in fuels up to 15% by 2025 is a truly dumb idea from someone who is still living in the past. Gasoline is already commonly available with plenty of ethanol content. By 2025, many more electric vehicles, (cars, suvs, and delivery vans) will be on the road.

I disagree with the statement made throughout the discussion paper that ethanol is generally cheaper to produce that its oil-based equivalent.
