Okay.
The act was amended in order to change the council's operating procedure. I believe improvements have been made over the past two years, the purpose being to ensure that issues are thoroughly discussed.
For example, when we want to establish a standard and another standardizing body already has one in place, we have to notify the other organizations and tell them why we want to create a new or complementary standard. The Standards Council of Canada implemented that process, and organizations have to follow it before a new standard can be accepted. There's considerable scrutiny around that, especially in recent years.
