I have been involved in standards for about 30 years, moving from a family that owned a certification body to working for the standards council for three years as the manager of their standards group, and then crossing the table to become the head of ULC Standards. Over those years, there have been a lot of changes in the standards system, and one of them, as you know, is that we have added four more SDOs, standards development organizations, to the system in Canada.
Over the years we've had a number of issues with capacity and delivery of standards. ULC, for example, has 216 standards, increasing at the pace of about four a year, but other parts of the system have declining numbers.
I will stop at that, other than to stay that I have worked with CGSB for the last 15 years. I have some colleagues who work there, and I also have a lot of colleagues, of course, at the Standards Council of Canada.
