It would simplify matters for foreign businesses wanting to do business in Canada.
The burden will be the same for Canadian companies wanting to have a product approved. There is no regulatory framework right now. It's new for the entire Canadian industry. The proposed biocides regulations are new. No one in the national industry in Canada holds approvals under those regulations.
However, the Americans and Europeans have approved products. What we're saying is that we simply have to pay attention. The scientific and technical basis isn't in question. The Canadian industry must be allowed to comply with the regulatory framework before foreign companies are allowed to come and compete with our products in Canada. That's all this is about.
