Thanks for the question.
On things that are unique to Canada, I think it's probably geography. With regard to the about 32 different set of standards that we work closely with CGSB in partnership on, they are essentially fuel standards. They are the standards that assure the safety of the fuel, that assure that the fuel is fit for purposes across Canada.
Because Canada is such a large country, with such a varied climate, it's very specific. It's one of the coldest places to live in the world in the winter. Essentially the standard identifies those attributes that are specific to Canadian conditions, whether it is the fuel we use in our aviation, for example, the fuel that we need to heat our northern communities, to provide diesel in our coal mines, or to provide gasoline for our vehicles as they travel huge distances in climates that vary from day to day and week to week.
That's why CGSB is good. It essentially helps in adapting the standards, which are probably 90% to 95% standardized between Canada and the U.S. But it's that 5% or 10% that's specific to the particular climatic conditions of Canada that CGSB helps us to address.
Having been in fuel quality for over 35 years, I can assure you that those standards have addressed the performance expectations of the customers extremely well in Canada, despite all of the different conditions. Our consumers can be comforted that when they go to the station to buy a product, or when DND buys product for the Department of National Defence, or when Public Works buys product for the Arctic, for example, it meets those standards and the product quality is fit for all Canadians.
