On January 14, Quebec, a province of Canada, will begin enforcing strict new fuel efficiency regulations that rival those of California. Car companies must conform to the new standards or face strict fines for selling their high-emission vehicles in the province.

Quebec Environment Minister, Line Beauchamp, states that ““We hope other Canadian provinces and the federal government will follow our footsteps.”

The standard sets an overall limit for emissions for a manufacturer’s entire fleet sold in Quebec. If the manufacturer exceeds the emissions, they will be fined $5000.00 for each vehicle sold over the limits.

What are your opinions on the Quebec regulations? Will they help? Are they enforceable with the car companies?
