10. Next steps

The goal of this document is to solicit comments from stakeholders prior to publishing a formal proposal in Part I of the Canada Gazette. Stakeholders may comment on any aspect of the planned regulations. Environment Canada would appreciate comments specifically on the following aspects

• the general approach of the planned regulations including combining two U.S. rules into a single Canadian regulatory package;
• the planned approach with regard to emission averaging;
• the existence or likelihood of vehicles or engines not sold in the U.S. being (a) imported into Canada or (b) manufactured in Canada;
• information regarding the estimated market for "competition" vehicles and engines, the exemption of such products from the planned regulation and if exempted, whether such products should be labelled as "competition" vehicles or engines.

Comments will be considered in developing a formal written proposal in the Canada Gazette Part I. Please provide your written comments by regular mail or by e-mail to:
