Transport committee  One could see it that way, yes.

Transport committee  In the audit, we did not specifically examine the work of Transport Canada investigators on collisions. We touch on the subject a little when we talk about the six regional offices that have the mandate to go to the location of an accident, to collect data, and to talk to the cor

Transport committee  As we did the audit, it became clearer and clearer that the role of the RCC was prevalent, that the need to synchronize the regulatory framework was the primary objective, that the trade issue was the primary objective. Some bureaucrats at Transport Canada sort of questioned that

Transport committee  The example of the headlights illustrates the situation well. That technology exists in Europe but is prohibited in North America, in both Canada and the United States. There are a number of reasons for that, but essentially there is the resistance from the Canada-U.S. Regulatory

Transport committee  I can tell you that Transport Canada has been looking at the headlights issue for over 10 years. Their technological or technical argument is about the glare that those headlights could cause. However, the same lights exist in Europe, but the department will tell you that the roa

Transport committee  The problem is that the decision was to build the barrier, at a cost of $5.4 million, as you indicated, but the research budget was cut at the same time. Those funds would have been used to test the barrier. As indicated in the report, the budget decreased from $1.2 million to $4

Transport committee  Our job is not to determine whether a particular program is properly funded. The department has to decide whether $492,000 or $1.2 million is sufficient or not.

Transport committee  This barrier is useful. In Blainville, it was considered important and necessary. We raised this point because there is a contradiction between investing $5.4 million and not having the money to do the tests that follow.

Transport committee  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. Wha

Agriculture committee  To tell you the truth, the department did not share any consultation results with us. We do not know whether the consultations have begun. We have no information on that.

Agriculture committee  The principles applicable to the bonded warehouse could be applicable for those importers. It's up to the government to decide if it will be detrimental or not to some smaller importers. Our belief is there needs to be incentive in the system to respect the rules. If you get a li

Agriculture committee  The Department of Finance's involvement is limited to the duties relief program. The recommendation related to quota-controlled goods, in other words, goods requiring a permit, was not addressed to the Department of Finance but, rather, to the Canada Border Services Agency and Gl

Agriculture committee  On quota-controlled goods, there are a number of products like steel and beef, and they are not necessarily supply-managed goods.

Agriculture committee  Beef happened to be on this list, and steel would be on the list, but it's not under supply management.

Agriculture committee  No, I don't have that.
