North American Regulatory Alignment – Vehicle Emissions and Greenhouse Gas Regulations
Canadian automotive manufacturing and its supply chain have been built on almost 60 years of deep integration with the U.S. First with the Auto Pact, later the Canada-U.S. bilateral agreement on trade, then under NAFTA and now the pending CUSMA. The resultant economies of scale have enormous positive benefits for Canadian consumers, their safety and the environment.
Maintaining North American regulatory alignment, first within the North American trade block and ultimately, moving toward global harmonization is increasingly important.
