OBS: Un centre de récupération des frigorigènes vient de s'ouvrir à Saint-Boniface, Manitoba, pour répondre à la réglementation régionale sur la récupération des frigorigènes provenant des systèmes de climatisation automobile [...] Ce nouveau centre est la conséquence d'une réglementation d'une grande portée destinée à protéger la couche d'ozone qui a été adoptée dans la province, y compris la création de la Manitoba Ozone Protection Industry Association.

OBS: In 1994, a new nonprofit Manitoba corporation known as the Manitoba Ozone Protection Industry Association (MOPIA) was created. MOPIA'S mandate is to provide information and assistance including leadership, administrative and technical support to all stakeholders in an effort to uniformly phase-out and eliminate the use of ozone depleting substances in the province of Manitoba. MOPIA makes recommendations on certification of technicians and on training programs. It also keeps the service records of the approximately 5,000 certified technicians in Manitoba as well as the sales records of the ODS wholesalers who supply them. These functions were formerly handled by government. Volunteers from industry, government, educational institutions and the environmental community comprise its membership.
