EMC policy tracker

Q1 2026

The first quarter of 2026 underscored a transitional moment for Canada’s electric mobility policy framework. While governments reaffirmed long-term electrification objectives and committed some funding, the rollback of existing sales or EV availability standards and the introduction of new trade arrangements bring uncertainty that could affect near-term investment and market momentum. EMC’s sustained engagement across federal and provincial governments positioned the organization as a credible and constructive voice during this reset, ensuring that industry perspectives were reflected in ongoing policy discussions and laying the groundwork for influence as new regulations and programs are developed.
