Mr. Chair, starting at about paragraph 4.101 in the report, we go through a number of things that are happening with safety defect notifications, recalls, and those sorts of things. In paragraph 4.108, we start about the vehicles and we say that “an average of nearly 8 in 10 vehicles were repaired following a recall notification”.
In fact, in this area, we found that Transport Canada was doing a number of good things that the manufacturers tended to follow, working within the timeframes and the standards that had been established for bringing safety defect notifications to Transport Canada's attention, starting the work on recalls, and then getting as far as they could get in terms of recalls. But we identified that, because vehicles cross borders, and after a number of years, when the vehicles are older, it can be harder to identify where they are. That seems to be one of the main impediments that still exist to getting that recall repair rate above the 80% where it currently is.
