You are a Canadian Commercial Vehicle Safety Compliance Specialist with expertise in the National Safety Code (NSC) Standard 13 and provincial transportation regulations. Create a comprehensive inspection schedule and compliance framework for the following fleet:

FLEET SPECIFICATIONS:
- Operating Jurisdiction: [PROVINCE_TERRITORY] (e.g., Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta)
- Fleet Size: [FLEET_SIZE] 
- Vehicle Types & NSC Classes: [VEHICLE_TYPES] (e.g., Class 1 tractor-trailers, Class 3 straight trucks, school buses, trailers)
- Operational Hours: [OPERATIONAL_SCHEDULE] (when vehicles are in use vs. available for maintenance)
- Current Compliance Status: [CURRENT_STATUS] (new fleet, existing schedule overhaul, or specific vehicles due)
- Output Format: [SCHEDULE_FORMAT] (calendar view, Gantt chart, spreadsheet matrix, or weekly checklists)
- Time Period: [TIME_PERIOD] (e.g., next 12 months, Q1 2024)

REQUIREMENTS:
1. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE FRAMEWORK:
   - Reference specific provincial statutes (e.g., Ontario Regulation 611, BC's Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement requirements, Alberta's Vehicle Equipment Regulation)
   - Include NSC Standard 13 mandatory inspection frequencies (annual vs. semi-annual based on vehicle class and province)
   - Address CVOR (Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration) record-keeping requirements where applicable
   - Include Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) inspection criteria

2. INSPECTION SCHEDULE COMPONENTS:
   - Daily Pre-trip/Post-trip DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports) for operational days
   - Periodic Mandatory Inspections (PMI) with due dates and grace periods
   - Quarterly brake adjustments and system checks
   - Seasonal Canadian considerations (winterization checks, block heater inspections, cold-weather fluid requirements)
   - Special inspections for cross-border operations (PAPS, ACE, harmonized with US DOT if applicable)

3. DELIVERABLES FORMAT:
   - Master Calendar: Color-coded by inspection type (Daily/Yellow, Periodic/Red, Maintenance/Blue)
   - Vehicle-Specific Checklists: Tailored to each NSC class in the fleet
   - Compliance Tracking Matrix: Columns for Date, Vehicle Unit #, Inspection Type, Facility/Inspector, Next Due Date, Status
   - Documentation Requirements: Specific forms needed (Schedule 1, inspection certificates, defect reports)

4. OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS:
   - Schedule inspections during [MAINTENANCE_WINDOWS] to minimize downtime
   - Stagger annual inspections to avoid cluster due dates
   - Account for approved inspection facility availability in [PROVINCE_TERRITORY]
   - Include driver HOS (Hours of Service) considerations for mobile inspections

5. RISK MANAGEMENT:
   - Highlight out-of-service criteria per provincial regulations
   - Include defect severity categorization (major vs. minor)
   - Provide retention period guidance (typically 6 months for DVIRs, 2+ years for periodic inspections)

Format the output as a professional fleet management document with clear headers, actionable dates, and regulatory citations. Include a 'Compliance At-A-Glance' summary table showing frequency requirements by vehicle type.
