1VIr. Snow explained that
•the decision to make the
wearing of separate shoulder
harness . straps' in pre -
January 1, 1974 car. models
optional resulted from the
fact that (while: automotive
manufacturers -met federal
government standards
(Motor Vehicle Safety Act of
Canada) "we had •to
recognize that for some.
people theshoulder harness
couldn't be • property_,,; -ad-
justed•." •
"In the later models, from
1.974' on, these problems have
been largely eliminated with„
the .three-point. harness and.

Mr Snow pointed out that
While wearing ofthe:shoulder.
harness in pre: January 1,
1974 models is now optional, it.
may not be removed if
already installed. •
"I•t should remain for those
who feel they would like to
take advantage of it," • he
stated. •
"I would urge, however,
--that- those --with comfortable,
'acrd' .`operat'ime •siiou-1'der.----
`harnesses use them because
combined .with the lap. belt,
•theydo offer • greater
protection in the eventof an
accident," said Mr. Snow.. ,
"As'.far•as the :cab drivers.'
were concerned, •I felt had to
take • into consideration the :•
fact that seat belts could in
• same cases :prevent' a driver'
from defending hiimself'in the
• event of an assault," Mr.:
Snow said.

added; ••
The Minister pointed out
that some •
child restraints are
approved by the Canada
•
Standards Association but
'acre not on- the market
because they do not meet the
federal governm.e•ntls.
••standard', and that his.
"•
Ministry will pursue' .this,•:
matter to attempt to clarify
the situation.
The Minister added that •
additional medical evidence.
froth'otber jurisdictions .has
indicated "that While .adult
restraints, do not' offer
complete pr.otectipn for, ,
children under, 50 pounds in °
weight; they: are' better than
no.restraint system at all;".
Cab drivers may also
remove the shoulder harness
from . the driver's seating
position, as well as the centre
front seat belt.
"My decision to exempt
children underfive year of
age or 50. pounds in weight'
was; based on, the fact that
