Tories rile auto firms with call for mandatory fuel efficiency

Article Abstract:

Bob Mills, the Conservatives' environment critic from the Tory government, stated that the party would push Canada's auto industry and the provinces, which enforce many of Canada's environmental regulations, to cut national fuel consumption 25% by 2010. That would be done by requiring automakers to produce more efficient cars, a goal that the industry prefers to achieve voluntarily.
