There is always a risk, which is why it is important for Canadian participation to be strong.
If we develop a standard in Canada, with only Canadians, the voice is solely Canadian, but if we are working with other countries, our voice is a little diluted. Essentially, standardization involves cooperation and negotiation, so when it comes to standardization, it is very important to have a strong voice when we are working with other countries. The risk is always there, but it can be managed.
