The National Post reports in its Saturday, Jan. 3, edition that Prime Minister Mark Carney faces a key decision on electric vehicles, whether to keep or repeal the 2035 sales mandate. The Post's Stephanie Taylor writes that the regulation requires manufacturers to hit certain sales targets for zero-emission vehicles, with those targets progressively rising until all new vehicle sales are zero emissions by 2035. Keean Nembhard, a spokesman for Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin, said that "we will have more to share in the new year," regarding the results of the 60-day review and the future of its zero-emission vehicle policy. That timeline is beyond what some in the industry had expected, as automakers seek clarity on the regulation they spent this year urging Mr. Carney to repeal, citing the plummeting sales of EVs and the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade war. Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association's Brian Kingston says he is "disappointed that there has not been a decision communicated to the auto industry." The CVMA represents Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. The Liberals' Nov. 4 budget stated that the government would "announce next steps on [EVs] in the coming weeks."
