I was here for Ms. Savage's testimony, and what I understood her to say was that the specs themselves.... For example, sulphur is uniform. In fact, one of the truly Canadian success stories is that the implementation of the desulphurization plan was done in a way that we could stay competitive with our American counterparts who have also embarked on desulphurization.
The problem lies largely in, I would say, marginal spec differences that could easily be taken care of, so anything that can be done to open the border, so to speak, between Canada and the U.S. regarding specifications without compromising the public policy priorities in our regulations would be most welcome.
I'm not sure how difficult it would be. It would probably be quite tedious—sort of like NAFTA and rules of origin—but it would be well worth it.
