The United States and a number of European countries have adopted very strict rules respecting the safety of products intended for children. We believe that this act is a good one precisely because it enables the government to enact regulations. The safety of toys and products for children must be the minister's highest priority. Things are changing a lot elsewhere in the world. We want Canada to draw on what is being done in other countries so that we can make the best possible choices.
