The federal government, which is cutting support for Via to $250 million in 1992 from $641 million last year, says no decision will be made on privatizing its routes until after the release of a report from Via president Ron Lawless in the.next few weeks} Blyth gave no details on his com- pany’s offer other than to say $10 million would be spent on refurbishing Via rail cars with another $5 million designated for operating costs. He said he was confident the government would accept the pitch. “I don’t think the government, given a reasonable bid for the tran- scontinental; would kill it rather than sell it to the private sector.”” He said the bid also depends on his company being able to negotiate agreements with Canadian National and Canadian Pacific for use of their tracks.

But a spokesman for one major manufacturer said Canadian con- sumers already have economical cars to choose from, and it’s up to them to make their own decisions. Philip Jessup, an energy analyst who conducted the study, told reporters on Tuesday vehicles are Canada’s biggest source of carbon dioxide — considered a_major_causé of global warming, known as the greenhouse ef- fect The study says the il cars are available in Canada, and criticized the environmentalists’ stury as simplistic. “People are buying the cars they want to buy,”’ said Bright. ‘‘There’s kind of a holier-than-thou attitude to this stuff. They’re saying Big Brother should dictate what the mileage should be.” In 1980 the federal government in- troduced legislation that would have required manufacturers to meet stan- dards for the average fuel efficiency of their new-model fleets. The legislation wasn’t enacted because the manufacturers agreed to voluntarily meet the standard — an average efficiency of 11.7 kilometres million vehicles on Canadian roads are pumping 34 million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air annually and this will rise steadily if trends continue. But the fumes could be cut significantly using technology already available, said Kai Millyard, police director for the group “They (the manufacturers) know how to do it, it’s just a question of get- ting on with it.”” He said car manufacturers have produced highly efficient vehicles in Japan and Europe that aren’t ®ailable in North America, and Ottawa should nudge them along with fuel-economy guidelines.
