Liji(iiir] Government must regulate automobile fuel economy because voluntary guidelines do not work. The latest information shows that Peugeot, Saab. BMW, Volvo, Jaguar, AIME“: and Rolls Royce fall below the 8.6 U100 km guideline, in place since The current voluntary regime is a pro- duct of a 1982 deal between the amount ers and the government. Automakers lobbied hard ageing: bringing a new fuel economy standards law into force. and promised they would meet fuel economy Time for legislated fuel economy standards It's entirely posible neither Kitchener nor Waterloo will be selected. Our neighbor, Guelph, has also made it to the church’s short list. and now it's up to the private developers (Torgan/Entredev in Waterloo's can) to rtnalix. their ptopoenls But, perhaps this joint approach to development is one the two cities should continue with. The truth is. many people and businesses don't see the boundary that separates the Twin Cities - not only those in other communities, but those that live has " well. The reality is, also, that a a major project moving to Kitchener does have many lasting benefits for Waterloo. in than ditNult economic times anything that improves your competitive position is worth trying. in this case, however, the two cities have decided a joint attack is needed because, according to Waterloo Chief Administrative tMiter Robert Byron, the United Church doeen’t recognize the boundary between the two citiee and views " on one community. 7 PAGE M _ WATEKOO m.

They obviously have not complied. The government should now use its power under that law, the Motor Vehicle Fuel Consumption Standards Act, to regulate the standards, and provide "nc. tions for violators. e The government should l also move to improve fuel economy for cars to 5 litres per 100 km by the year 2000. This would save 60 million barrels of oil per year by 2006, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions which cause global warming by 26 million tonnes, or over 5 per cent of current levels. The public can also make a difference through their choice of cars and fuels because global warming is a serious threat to the Earth’s climate.

These are not insignificant issues; they are the core programmes of the Causewa- tive government of which Mr. McLean is a member. If Walter McLean is truly corr earned about the "instability" resulting from his party's programmes, I suggest he resign his seat in the Home of Commons immediately.
