That's another angle to attack this on actually... shops that are not dealerships but pay to have licensed inspectors and do inspections are being cut out of this initiative with the dealer only BS. If I owned a shop and this had become the norm for some jackass police officers to suddenly say I'm not qualified to give inspections I've paid to do the training/licensing for I'd be livid.
Also, I am unsure of provincial/municipal regulations, but in my time working for the federal government, this is a big no no... it's a form of sole sourcing. An agent of the government cannot direct or advise the public to use specific establishments or businesses that would gain financially from such an advisory... there are soooo many ways that this isn't right for any government agency to be doing. I would imagine provincial/municipal has similar laws.
