As well, most provincial Highway Traffic Acts require companies affix an NSM to all vehicles they manufacture. The purpose of the NSM is to certify their vehicle production complies with the regulations under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
CTEA can help manufacturers prepare their application for an NSM, and also offers guidance in the administrative and technical requirements associated with the process.
Join CTEA's director of government and industry relations, Don Moore, in conversation with CTEA’s technical programs manager, Jeremy Harrower. It's everything you need to know about the national safety mark but didn't know who to ask. 

In this episode we cover: 

  • lighting requirements
  • vehicle stability
  • braking requirement
  • document retention
  • how to apply for a national safety mark
  • and much more.

Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters estimates transitioning industry to net-zero will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. That transition will be a huge undertaking that can't be done overnight and can't be done alone. Yet the federal government, at one time, seemed prepared to leave industry on its own to figure it out. While it took plenty of arm twisting, the most recent budget did include some industrial supports to counter the impact of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act.

Matt Poirier, senior director of National Policy and Government Relations at Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) joins CTEA’s Don Moore to explore ways Canada can help the manufacturing sector adapt successfully to the net-zero paradigm. 

 

The Four pillars

Develop a skilled workforce through effective immigration and skills development policies. 

Drive innovation and investment in advanced manufacturing technologies 

Increase domestic manufacturing production and exports.

Assist industry in adapting to Canada’s climate change challenges.
