Being somebody who drives quite a bit, I think we do have to put this in the context of driving being something that has become safer over the years. I think that's a reality.
But I find it quite concerning that, again, some of the regulatory changes we've identified in this report would take 10 years, and the state of change in the technology now is such that it doesn't wait for 10 years. I think the department has a very significant challenge of making sure that it can adjust its regulatory approach to something that is more nimble so that it can keep up with these types of changes.
When I look at this regulatory system overall, I see one that, in terms of things like lighting standards, is written in a way that in fact prevents some of the new innovative lighting approaches from being used in Canada, but then on the other hand doesn't prevent other types of innovations related to autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles. I'm not saying that it should or shouldn't prevent something. I'm saying that when you look at the overall regulatory system, on the one hand you see that it can impede some innovation because of the way some of the regulations are written, but then on the other hand it lags the innovation taking place as well.
I think the department has a significant challenge, again, of making sure that it can have a regulatory system that can be nimble enough to adjust to how quickly the technology is changing in this area.
