Mr. Chair, the issue of lack of standards is indeed problematic, and it comes down to several areas.
Equipment is the first consideration: there's the question of whether one phone or one piece of equipment can talk to another. There is also the network. Then there's the language, and in this area it's not just official languages; in some jurisdictions they'll say they've got a three-eight going on, while somebody else might say they've got a flood going on. We're working on a number of those.
I think the response largely comes down to jurisdiction as well. I'm quite certain the federal government cannot prescribe those types of standards to provinces, so I think the strategy that's been adopted is a wise one: we're working with the Canadian Standards Association and the Canadian General Standards Board, which have legitimacy with all of these jurisdictions, to come up with a standard.
My understanding is that work is progressing very well, and we're hoping to get to the point of having that determination before the end of 2010.
