From the article in this morning's Herald " MVI's Kicked Into Reverse" http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/1108639.html
The Chronicle Herald ran a series of articles over the past couple of years drawing attention to the MVI program’s flaws.
The Service Nova Scotia minister said Thursday that the changes to the inspection system were motivated by the public.
"The government has heard the concerns of Nova Scotians . . . and the industry, which prompted the redesign," Richard Hurlburt told reporters
I know I sound like a stuck record, but the way ahead for any meaningful change is always paved by voter feedback. Its as true for those concerned about animal issues as it is for those who were justifiably concerned about the imbalances in the NS Motor Vehicle Inspection system.
We give our politicians the power to govern and legislate change when we elect them. Does that mean our job is done after the election? Of course not. They are politicians, not psychics. In between elections, voter feedback is the best tool we have to ensure that our elected officials respond to the issues that concern us most.
