The dealers say the problem stems from changes in the United States to how trucks built there are certified for emission standards.
Those certifications are now issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, but the Canadian government only recognizes emissions certifications from the Environmental Protection Agency, which previously provided the approvals.
At a news conference on Parliament Hill today, the dealers say manufacturers have been flagging the issue to the federal government for a year, with little progress.
They say Canadian companies can’t join a competitive process to pre-order new trucks until this is fixed.
