Ottawa, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 5, 2026) – Today, the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association, (CADA) formally applauded the federal government’s announced Auto Strategy, including the decision to end the federal electric vehicle mandate. CADA President and CEO Tim Reuss stated, “Today’s announcement by Prime Minister Carney, is a strong commitment by the government to the automotive industry and demonstrates their ability and willingness to respond to market realities and consumer demand.”<\/p>\n

“The expanded and adjusted support measures aimed at maintaining Canada’s\u00a0vital automotive manufacturing sector are essential as we enter the critical phase of the\u00a0CUSMA renegotiation with the US. Dealers across Canada, particularly applaud the\u00a0government for ending the EV mandate and choosing a better path forward for EV adoption\u00a0that is more in line with diverse technology, charging infrastructure and overall consumer\u00a0demand.”<\/p>\n

Reuss further noted that the 3,500 dealer members across Canada are in no way turning\u00a0away from EV adoption: “Dealers have invested heavily in EV infrastructure to sell and\u00a0service EVs in Canada. Consumer choice in terms of vehicle options for low emission\u00a0choices has expanded dramatically in Canada, and now manufacturers have the ability to\u00a0deliver emissions solutions which are technologically neutral.”<\/p>\n

CADA also praised the reintroduction of EV purchase incentives. Today’s announcement\u00a0highlights that consumers still need incentives in order to adopt electric vehicle\u00a0technology. The affordability gap for electric vehicles on initial purchase continues to be a\u00a0pinch point, and the government’s approach to incentivizing consumers as opposed to\u00a0limiting the market is the right step to ensure consumer affordability.<\/p>\n

CADA also highlighted the important elements of the automotive strategy that will help\u00a0ensure a reliable supply chain for automobiles in Canada: “During this trade rupture, it is\u00a0critical that we have a strategy that is bold and eliminates policies that were made before\u00a0current market and technology realities. CADA continues to work on both sides of the\u00a0border to highlight that auto tariffs between Canada and the US are bad for the economies\u00a0of both countries, bad for dealers and, most importantly, bad for the millions of consumers\u00a0they serve,” concluded Reuss.<\/p>\n
