We are still in the early stages, even in countries where the concept of risk management has been introduced. In the United States, this only began in 2005, and in 2007, the latest definitive guidelines were adopted in Europe. Of course, we can say that in Canada, we are talking about 10 provinces with a different culture, in the sense that the risk minimization processes probably differ from one province to the next. So, that is a challenge. However, in Europe, we are talking about 27 different countries, and they, too, face that kind of challenge. So, is there one country whose situation closely resembles that of Canada? I'd say that the concept of risk per se is not a global issue. Canada should be developing measures that will probably be different from those in place in other countries.
