Basically, the Motor Vehicle Safety Act currently ensures that vehicles coming into Canada are Canadian-compliant. With NAFTA, or whatever it's called now, Mexican and U.S. vehicles are allowed into Canada under certain conditions, to be modified and inspected, because the safety standards are very similar between the U.S. and Canada. As part of this implementation package, the Mexican vehicles, I believe, will be reviewed and gazetted, too, at the end of this year just to expand that and allow Mexican vehicles to also come in. Beyond that, the vehicles cannot come in. The Motor Vehicle Safety Act says that the vehicles have to be Canadian-compliant. The exception under the act—subsection 7(2)—talks about vehicles purchased at the retail level in the United States that have no open recalls and can be modified to our Canadian standards. They are allowed entry and they have to do all of this—the modifications and the vehicle inspection—prior to licensing and registering in a province, and within 45 days. But, again, that's for permanent importation.
