By Health Canada's own admission it hasn't been successful enough. In my testimony I referred to an estimated 1,800 premature deaths due to trans fat consumption--heart attack deaths, on average--using as a basis the current 3.4 grams of consumption per day. That's not something we pulled out of a hat. It's from working with numbers the U.S. Food and Drug Administration used to assess the risk in the United States.
It's true that if you accept the evidence Health Canada has provided, it seems that trans fat is coming down a little bit, although I'm even suspicious of some of that. They looked at 45 categories of foods, and only 11 of them were compared at more than one point in time. So it's not very convincing.
