That is an excellent question again.
When you develop a standard, you have a technical committee, and it has to have a balanced matrix of interests, including regulators, so the first thing is that regulators are at the table. Regulators influence the process. Regulators vote. If regulators as a bloc say, “We don't like this standard, it doesn't meet our requirements and it's not going to help you comply with our legislation”, it's not going to go anywhere. Regulators have a really important role to play in designing standards, especially when they're mandatory, when you know it's going to become part of the law. That's one thing.
The other thing is that if you have a standard internationally that you think would work, you can bring it to Canada, review it and adapt it. If you think some features are not strong enough, you can make deviations to it and then come up with something that works for you.
This issue is that it's a new tool you have in your tool box. You're at the table. You make the decisions with industry, with academics and with experts, but you have the last word when it comes to the actual content of the document that you'll adopt.
