Thank you, Madam Chair.
In this case, as Mr. Garneau said earlier in his testimony, there is the Regulatory Cooperation Council, the RCC, and through that committee, there is discussion of upcoming regulatory initiatives that could be undertaken by both Canada and the U.S.
What we found in the audit is that the work plan set up by the RCC is rather prescriptive in terms of what will be acceptable when it comes to new regulations that can be introduced. For example, there's the anchorage system for the child car seat restraint system, and we noticed in the report that the anchors are failing under certain conditions. Transport Canada could introduce a new regulation, but for all sorts of reasons—one of them mentioned in the report, that it would be detrimental to trade—they decided not to introduce a made-in-Canada solution to that problem.
So there is that co-operation, but to an extent it might be detrimental to the introduction of Canadian regulation when needed.
