Canada will review the joint vehicle emissions standards it has with the United States before it decides what to do about the U.S.'s plan to weaken those standards in the coming years.
Environment Minister Catherine McKenna will unveil a discussion paper as early as Tuesday to kick start that review, just days after the White House announced it is going to cancel the required annual increases in emissions standards after 2021.
Canada and the U.S. have been aligned on vehicle emissions for more than two decades. Unless Canada scraps the existing regulations and writes its own, which could take at least two years, this country will automatically follow the American plan.
