Comments on the Canadian Motor Vehicle Emission Regulation to the Department of Transport

Response to the Department of Transport's December 21, 1996 Canada Gazette request for submissions on motor vehicle emission regulation for Canada. West Coast Environmental Law proposes a unique Canadian vehicle emission program which supports various environmental objectives, is compatible with a North American vehicle market, has economic spin offs in Canada and eliminates incentives to purchase and sell larger vehicles. Our next preference would be for a program based on California certification of light and medium duty vehicles and the California NMOG fleet averages.
