It is the contrary, Mr. Speaker. These new regulations will actually save the money of Canadians over the life of their new cars, up to $900 per year per car through fuel cost savings. Compared to 2008 models, vehicles rolling off the line in 2025 will produce almost 50% fewer greenhouse gas emissions and consume up to 50% less fuel.
The NDP's ill-considered $21 billion carbon tax would increase the cost of cars and gasoline and just about everything else.
