If I understand your question, you want to know if there should be a one-size-fits-all solution or one solution.
In Canada, we're much ahead of the U.S. The U.S. has 15,000 regulators, and we have thirteen times four in the sectors.
You're right that I often run into issues where an authority has an idea but hasn't talked to the sector, and the sectors get up in arms. We now have eight SDOs. We could have a system, such as the Germans do, whereby the accredited SDOs would prepare and publish the standards, and you wouldn't go to an association to get them because you would get these inherent or unintentional biases. You would use the system, let it develop for you, and adhere to it. That, to me, would be where we should go.
Should we have one SDO? My guess is that in 30 or 40 years we will have one, because our economic needs are so great that we'll have to be in sync with the rest of the world, but right now I think the eight we have can do the job, working with the SCC. We do try to avoid duplication if we can.
