Canada to match U.S. car fuel rules
"It's very good news because we are now consistently moving down the path towards a single North American standard for fuel efficiency or carbon emissions, depending on how you want to express it,"
- Mr. Prentice
Canada will match tough new U.S. vehicle emission standards that President Barack Obama said yesterday will force the auto industry to develop more fuel-efficient cars to deal with global warming.
Environment Minister Jim Prentice confirmed that the Canadian government will match the new standards, which Mr. Obama said would also reduce dependence on foreign oil.
