I am someone who has spent the last few years as a light and heavy duty (both diesel and gas engine) inspector at a facility that is also certified to perform drive clean repairs.

As a light duty drive clean inspector and repair technician I am not opposed to change but having a good look at the ins and outs of the program and how well it is working just seems a shame to shut it down. The 16% to 5-6% failure rate should just be a testimate to how well it is doing.

Removing the emissions test not only will put the numbers back to where they were in 1999 within the next 5 years, but will allow vehicles to be on the road which would have come into a shop to be tested

I am a Mobile Heavy Duty Emissions Test Facility

The program is still credited with taking 335 tonnes of pollutants out of the air every year. That might be a worthwhile trade if the government had something to replace Drive Clean. But in typical Ford style, the program is being axed with no suitable replacement.

The concept is a good one. There is little need for all car owners to subsidize poor maintenance of a few car owners. The concept that cars are better made and provide an opportunity to reduce costs for Ontario car owners is justified.

1. Is the testing on LDV diesel trucks under 4500 going to be exempt.

My concern with the proposal is that there will be no mandatory test which may have a negative result in emission reduction.
1- owners of light duty vehicles may ignore the car on board warning light as there is little chance of being caught .
2- illegal modification to the system may increase

I do not believe you should scrap the light duty vehicle testing, but raise the standards prospectively, so that vehicle manufacturers are incentivized to continue making cars fuel efficient.
