I have sat on the code commission for the Canada fire and building codes for the last five years and have been in attendance for the last 12, and it has been somewhat embarrassing to sit there and hear the members go on and on about CGSB's lack of updating. I understand the problem they have is quite similar to the one most of us have. Perhaps the code standard is old and perhaps it could have been made long term, but no one may want to do it anymore. They have a large number, and I have a few. I would say, if no one's using them, get rid of them. There's no use having them on the books. We may have to work out a transition plan to allow people to move forward, but if no one's using them I don't see the purpose of maintaining them. Look for another solution; maybe it's international and maybe it's somewhere else.
