While academics and non-profits think it’s a better position for the auto industry, carmakers call the move premature. And what about NAFTA?

Canadian car manufacturers are feeling left behind after Ottawa signed a memorandum with California to push forward with eco-friendly vehicles — a proposal that appears to be at odds with the new NAFTA agreement.

“We can build the vehicles of the future here at home, create good jobs, and remain competitive — all while reducing pollution and helping Canadians save hundreds of dollars a year at the pump,” Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change said in a statement. “Back in the day, I don’t think we ever expected someone would switch them back — they are really common sense and hard to argue with because of lower cost for gasoline, the environment and for our health.”

There is a sensitive balance to strike: millions of Canadians are employed in auto manufacturing, retailing, servicing and fuels.
