Just to be clear, the current requirements under the Hazardous Products Act are specifically for hockey helmets.
The private member's bill that Hedy Fry put forward speaks to a CSA standard that was just recently finalized. In fact it was a standard that Health Canada was on the technical committee to help develop. It is currently going through an accreditation process with the Standards Council of Canada. This standard covers ski and snowboard helmets.
The CSA standard that has been recently finalized will actually introduce the strictest requirements of any standard in the world for ski and snowboard helmets. It takes into account a lower level of G-force and multiple impacts in any one place. It blows any other standard currently on the market...and provides a greater level of protection.
In fact we have recently announced a consultation with our stakeholders with the recommendation that we actually move forward in requiring the standard in a mandatory fashion under the Hazardous Products Act.
