Nova Scotia government reviewing motor vehicle inspection requirement
“In February, NDP Leader Claudia Chender called on the government to extend the renewal period for MVIs to five years.
In an interview Monday, Chender called news of the review "better late than never."
The NDP's proposal was part of a broader call that also included the end of fees for vehicle registration, licence renewal and several other charges as measures to save people money.
"We are experiencing an affordability crisis," said Chender. "People are having a harder and harder time paying the bills."
Chender said the NDP proposal to increase the MVI renewal period followed an evaluation of what's done in other provinces. She said she would have no problem with doing away with them altogether.
Chender said the fees only serve to increase government revenues and she thinks this is a case where people need a break.”
