An Environment Canada official speaking on background this week said it will likely be many more months before Canada’s investigation concludes. OTTAWA—Two years after Canadian government testing helped the United States go after Volkswagen for faking the results of diesel-engine emissions tests, Canada says it is still unable to determine if Volkswagen broke the law in this country. Amir Attaran, the lawyer representing two groups suing Canada over the Volkswagen investigation, said the note suggests Canada has had its own data showing Volkswagen violated Canadian emissions standards for more than two years, but still hasn’t done anything about it. Environmental Defence also alleges Volkswagen began selling the faulty 2015 diesel engine models this year without fully repairing them. Environment Canada is investigating that allegation, but told Environmental Defence “a year or more will be required” to complete it.
