Ms. Noble, on the legislative piece, just so this committee can be very clear about what we can recommend to the government.... I gave you a piece of paper, which has the actual regulation on it, so that you have it in front of you. Under “Emergencies and Adverse Driving Conditions”, subsection 76(1) talks about “a driver who, in an emergency, requires more driving time to reach a destination that provides safety for the occupants of the commercial vehicle and for other users of the road or the security of the commercial vehicle and its load.” Of course, in this case it's talking about animals.
You're not asking for a change in that type of regulation. You're asking for a policy statement, either from the department or from the minister, that explains that in these conditions that includes animal welfare.
