WINNIPEG, MB, Canada — Like their counterparts in the United States, contractors and technicians in Canada have been required to carry government cards to purchase and use refrigerants.
When the Canadian Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) program went into effect in the mid- 1990s, there was every intention of having cardholders undergo upgraded training and a retest every few years. But over the years, the upgrades and retests never came about. Extensions were simply granted.
