  4. Can 3.8%
  5. NB 1.8%
  6. Ontario 0.5%
  7. AB 0.02%

    Only three other provinces scored any points. New Brunswick scored 168 points, or 42 per cent (22 ESBs, 1.8 per cent of fleet). Ontario and Alberta each scored 101 points, or 25 per cent, with ESBs making up 0.5 per cent of the former’s fleet and just 0.02 per cent of the latter’s.
