—and it takes too long to get that approved.
Okay, thanks for that. I'm sure others will have questions for you.
I'd like to move over now to Mr. Smith.
What you're working on is fascinating to me. There are all kinds of examples, I think, where the United States and Canada have a whole different set of standards, and we make it more difficult and more costly to build than it is in Europe. I've read through your report on elevators. People would probably call me a nerd, but I found it fascinating—the different sizes of elevators in North America versus Europe.
I'm wondering if we can speak briefly, if you don't mind, Stephen, about stair policy and this concept that people might not understand: single-stair egress. Could you speak to that briefly for the committee to understand what the issue is?
