Canadian recycling and use of CCPs is increasing. 

Canadian Use rates have climbed steadily since statistics were first collected, from 21.4% in 1999 to 31% in 2007.  CCP Production/Use Trends pdf

Natural Resources Canada last published "CCPProduction and Use" data (2004-2006) in 2006, indicating Canadians recycled 30% of CCPs produced in valued construction applications nationwide: P&U 2004-06 (NRCan, p.13)

In 2007, Canadians used 31% of CCPs produced: P&U 2005-07 (NRCan)
