Thank you, Madam Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for being here today.
In its brief, the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, the CVMA, describes its concerns with the minister’s power to order tests, analyses or studies in order to obtain information that he considers necessary about defects or non-conformity. The minister has indicated that those powers are similar to those granted by the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act.
Could you tell me exactly what concerns you in that provision, knowing that it works very well in the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, an act with similar objectives?
