Metric conversion OTTAWA -- Regula- tions requiring the man- datory use of metric measurement alone will be revoked and will be replac- ed by new provisions which will permit the use of metric units only, or the use of imperial units along with metric units in three principal sectors of retail trade, it was announced January 30 by Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Michel Cote. The new provisions, which will apply in the sec- tors of gasoline and diesel fuels, home furnishings and individually-measured foods, will permit con- sumers who are unfamiliar with the metric system to continue to refer to im- perial measure while pur- chasing products in these areas. Mr. Cote noted the pro- cess of metric conversion has been voluntary, and has been undertaken with the cooperation of industry in more than 100 sectors of the economy. However, in the three retail sectors, regulations were introduc- ed under the Weights and Measures Act which re- quired the mandatory use of metric only. '*Canadians feel and we agree that compulsory metric only is a heavy- handed and insensitive ap- proach,"' the Minister said. "As @ Government, we favour metric conversion. But we believe that the changeover must be eased for those individuals and businesses which are hav- ing difficulty adjusting to it."' The' new provisions policy will permit the use of im- perial units along with metric units in the advetis- ing, displaying and weighing and measuring of goods. Small retailers who ex- perience practical dif- ficulties in complying with the new policy, or those for whom considerable hard- ship and unreasonable ex- pense would result from the full application of this policy, will be exempted from the weighing and measuring provisions. This will mean that they may continue to use their im- perial scales, although they will have to advertise, display, and label in either metric alone or dual. "This decision has been taken following extensive consultations at all levels -- retail merchants, trade associations, consumer groups, businesses, provin- cial governments and in- dividuals. We believe this policy is in the best interest of all Canadians," the Minister said. **Metric is here to stay," Mr. Cote said. '*Industry and retailers have made substantial investments in converting to metric, and children coming out of school have been educated in metric only. This government is committed to metric, but more impor- ~| tantly it is committed to a conversion procerss that is flexible and compas- sionate. It takes into ac- count the legitimate con- cerns of Canadians.""
