Subhead:Ottawa’s EV mandate requires 20% of new light-duty vehicles sold in 2026 to be zero-emission, increasing to 100% by 2035.#

Automotive CEOs, including those from Ford, Stellantis, and GM Canada, along with the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, have urged Prime Minister Mark Carney to repeal the 2035 zero-emission vehicle mandate.
Association CEO Brian Kingston told reporters before the meeting on June 2 that the government’s EV mandate was “not sustainable.”
“The targets… cannot be met,” he said, adding that Canada’s auto sector success would also be discussed.
