I would point out, Mr. Chair, that currently we do react to any complaints we receive from the Canadian public. As we testified earlier to the committee, we receive about 1,200 complaints a year with respect to motor vehicle issues, and we investigate each of those complaints.
Certainly, the more information you have, the better determination you can make. It's a question of capability. If we were to go to a system in which all complaints had to be reported to Transport Canada, that would obviously increase greatly the number of issues we would have to deal with, and there would be a resource consideration as to how to deal with that information.
I would note that in the United States, they do have a system in which all of these complaints must be brought forward. In this particular instance, it seems that NHTSA was no better at determining this particular problem than we were.
