I'd like to go back to my two examples, haz-mat and furniture testing.
Haz-mat is somewhat enforced by Transport Canada. You get to test your box once, and once it's tested you don't have to retest it as long as you keep the same components in the box. You could use the same box for presumably 100 years.
Just to make the parallel with what's happening in the U.S. with DOT, on an annual basis in the U.S. they need to retest their packaging. From that perspective we can say that haz-mat is less enforced here than in the U.S.
In the case of furniture, while the standard is not really enforced, as I said beforeāor at least the QPL is not enforced as much.....
The difference in the U.S., of course, as everybody knows, is that it is much more litigious than Canada. If you fall off your chair in the U.S., potentially you almost feel as though you have won on a lottery ticket. If you fall off your chair in Canada, if you are lucky, somebody will help you to stand up and sit in another chair.
Furniture, latex gloves, and a few other of the commodities that are in the QPL are, I would say, poorly enforced.
