Oil and gas industry emission rules still not ready from Ottawa

Anticipated federal emission regulations for the oil and gas industry have missed their mid-year release deadline. As reported here by CBC News, the regulations were first expected by the end of 2012, then by mid-year of 2013. There is no scheduled date for the emission regulations to be released, but federal officials say they are working on the project and are consulting with industry and the provinces to finalize standards.
