A group of auto sector groups came together in Ottawa this week to call on the Trudeau government to scrap its plan to mandate electric vehicle sales quotas starting next year.
With Parliament prorogued, and an election on the horizon, automakers and dealerships have no idea whether they will be able to comply with the EV sales mandate starting next year.
They say the situation is untenable, creating chaos for consumers, and the government is silent.
On top of that, Canada’s auto sector might be hit with 25% tariffs on all cars and parts that cross the U-S border.
In part one of our series on the future of electric vehicles, host David Smith speaks with Brian Kingston, President and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association.

We've officially passed what's known as "Quitter's Day", the second Friday in January where people generally abandon their new year's resolutions.
If you're feeling down because you've swapped the celery for Timbits, don't!
According to dietician Abbey Sharp, there is a better way and January may not even be the best time to start something new.
Host Eva Fragiskatos sits down with Abbey to talk about the best way to be healthy, how to avoid fads and how to stay sane in a time where everyone has an opinion on food and nutrition.
You can also listen to Abbey's podcast - "Bite Back with Abbey Sharp" here: Bite Back with Abbey Sharp - Frequency Podcast Network Bite Back with Abbey Sharp.

Canada first and Canada united - the message after a First Ministers' meeting in Ottawa with the country's premiers - with one exception.

To do that, NewsRadio's Queen's Park reporter Richard Southern speaks to Parliament Hill reporter Cormac Mac Sweeney about the meeting, the wrap up news conference, what happened behind the scenes and what's next.
