Created by S.L. on May 09, 2014

In order to improve international competitiveness, stimulate interest in science and foster innovation, start implementing a conversion to the metric system by mandating the price at gas stations to be shown per liters. Gradually modify street speed limit indicators to a dual display in miles and in km/h. Update postal scales and rates relative to kilograms. Create temporary tax benefits for media that reports also in metric system units, including temperatures in Celsius.
