Thank you very much for the question and the comments.
It's true, the Standards Council of Canada will tell you that interprovincial differences are really difficult in terms of making things. There is a lot of voluntary effort that goes into self-regulating industries. For example, if you're a tire maker, whether of auto tires or tractor tires, you're completely self-regulated, and the differences between.... The governments never get involved in that. The industry and the markets drive it, but there are a lot of political responses when something occurs, whether it's a train crash or some other tragedy.
I think what political officials need to do is resist the urge to have a political response to essentially a more complicated question of standards. If there's an airbag recall or something like that, I think it's important to gather together everybody involved so that you don't have these differences. I think the federal government has to try, in whatever way it can, to force a conversation of alignment among the provinces. I realize that with the charter there are certain restrictions, but I think leadership and forcing out a coherent conversation, just in the interest of efficiency, would be useful.
