Truck dealers say they can’t import new models until Ottawa fixes paperwork
Canadian heavy-duty truck dealers are expressing concern over a paperwork issue that could prevent the import of new truck models next year. The problem stems from changes in U.S. emissions certification processes, which could lead to a shortage of trucks in Canada. This shortage could have widespread implications for various sectors of the Canadian economy, including shipping and construction.
