Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here today.
Mr. Comtois, you had some interesting things to say. You are both a client and a supplier. You have previously been a member of the technical committees of the Canadian General Standards Board. Did you have discussions with other standards organizations?
In the testimony we have heard so far, we have seen that standards development is a very specialized skill. It is better that it be done centrally, for example at PWGSC, which can collaborate with other departments, instead of having a standards office within each department.
It is a fairly specialized skill. There are also private businesses that do this work. Do you have discussions with the Canadian Standards Association, with Underwriters Laboratories, or with other similar organizations?
