B) To protect consumers and ensure a fair, honest
marketplace.
C) To establish universal speed limits on Ontario highways.
D) To regulate the export of manufactured Canadian auto

A) 30 days from the delivery date.
B) 90 days from the delivery date.
C) 1 year from the date the contract was signed.

B) A finance manager working inside an OMVIC-registered
dealership.

impose on an individual found guilty of curbsiding?

time of up to two years less a day.
