A national safety mark is required for Canadian-based manufacturers. The proposed amendments will move the nature of affixing that national safety mark, which is a physical mark that must be attached to each vehicle, child seat, or tire, and that requirement will be made more broad, more flexible under the proposal whereby the regulations would determine the nature of that national safety mark. It is a unique Canadian requirement. Canada is a country that imports the vast majority of the vehicles, tires, and child seats. The national safety mark is different. I can't speak to the American equivalent; I don't think there is an American equivalent. They have a certificate of compliance label. We have a certificate of compliance label for vehicles that are imported. We have a national safety mark for domestically manufactured goods.
