Mr. Alan Brousseau at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I apologize, my French is not very good.

The definitions are very similar. What's considered a hazardous material in the United States, things such as chemicals, fuel transportation, many of those things are similar to the definition of dangerous goods in Canada. So I would consider the terms “hazardous materials” and “dangerous goods” as being very similar, very close to being the same.
