I am astounded. I think if Canadians knew there are companies treating American repair shops differently from Canadian ones, they would be aghast. We've heard from some car companies who want harmonization in terms of standards and regulations. It would appear to me that this test may be failing some of those companies, and perhaps a nice, quick little letter might solve the situation.
But I want to deal with that specifically, because obviously I have a lot more people in my riding who are mechanics or are repairing products than people who are retailing or marketing the products. Having had a bit of an experience with one of the companies you just cited, I am deeply concerned, and I think it would be incumbent on this committee to look at this issue a lot more intensely, if we can.
Could you please give me an idea about where this will lead in two, three, or four years from now? If you're saying that this practice will continue into 2008, and many of the companies jump in, how do you see your industry? Would this be the death knell of your industry, including the tire and the tire repair industry?
