I support this change as an automotive enthusiast and amateur collector. People like me enjoy older vehicles and keep their vehicles in good running order, and I can proudly say that I have never had a failed emission test.

So, just to understand correctly, we bring in Drive Clean Program to help reduce smog and pollution and try to keep Dirty vehicles from getting back on the roads,
Then you pull the program.... "because you don't think we need it?"

As long as the Ontario Government is maintaining some type of pressure on light vehicle manufacturers to keep standards high, then I suppose this sounds fine.

I am disappointed that you are canceling this program. Since it began I find that there are a lot fewer vehicles giving off the offensive smell of un burnt gas (the dodge caravan seemed to be a particular culprit). Now we will be back to smelling these vehicles once more.

Since trucks are generally the main source of air pollution, more focus should be placed on identifying trucks that are "heavy emitters" and fine or incentivize these vehicle owners to repair, retrofit or replace their vehicles.

Older model gas powered farm grain trucks should be exempt as they are only used for a few weeks a year and most of them have to be leaned out to a point they will barely run to achieve a pass then adjusted back to actually be able to use to haul loads short distances.

As a resident of Ontario, I was extremely pleased to hear Premier Ford’s announcement September 28th to end light duty emissions testing. The owner of a 1990 truck in pristine condition, I was directly impacted on a biennial basis, a process that was both costly and time consuming.

Thank you for this opportunity to provide input. We support redirecting Drive Clean towards increased focus on monitoring truck emissions, so long as an effective policy with properly funded supporting programing is designed and implemented. This process can’t be rushed.

Great job eliminating this program! But why April 2019? Make it effective right now and if you can't, then stop charging those of us who are being forced to do these until Apr 2019.
