Transport committee  We haven't yet received their first quarterly report in terms of how many people they have reached so far, so we don't have that information yet.

Transport committee  As you mentioned, it's an obligation under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act, when a company issues a notice of defect, to basically provide quarterly follow-up reports to determine how many consumers they have reached. We are basically waiting.

Transport committee  We are talking about separate issues. The rubber floor mats created problems in the United States. They could make the accelerator stick. In Canada, the Venza floor mat was problematic. Toyota issued a recall notice to replace the Venza floor mat. The accelerator pedal that can stick is a different issue.

Transport committee  We received complaints about the vehicles' involuntary acceleration problems. To find out whether it was because of the floor mats or something else, an investigation has to be done. We did not receive any complaints before Toyota's recall notice about the pedal that was sticking because of condensation.

Transport committee  With respect to the media issue and what was posted by Transport Canada, we have to go back to November, when that came out. As my colleagues have mentioned, basically the context was that the floor mats in the U.S. and Canada were different. The all-weather floor mats in Canada have a different composition in material.

Transport committee  I'm going to get to your recall extension question, but I did want to finish up on the point about the media release that came out. We have to go back to the context there, where the floor mats were different between the two countries. The ones in Canada, except for the Venza, as Trevor mentioned earlier, were not susceptible to basically sticking the accelerator pedal to the floor in a full throttle position.

Transport committee  Mr. Chair, obviously I can't speak for Toyota, but it's our responsibility to make sure that Toyota respects the law of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. That is what we pursue. Whatever else Toyota Canada may want to do for its consumers is up to Toyota. That is a matter better left to discuss with them.

Transport committee  Mr. Chair, I'm not sure I properly understood the full question.

Louis-Philippe Lussier

Transport committee  We do have a division in Transport Canada's Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Regulation Directorate that basically tracks collision statistics. We do have numbers with respect to the number of fatalities and injuries in Canada. In terms of fatalities, about 2,700 people get killed every day.

Louis-Philippe Lussier

Transport committee  We don't have that information readily available now. We can certainly look back. We do know from past studies that typically we're talking 5% of collisions being attributable to maybe a vehicle defect. It's a small portion. I don't have an exact number to provide the committee.

Transport committee  There are many questions there. First of all, to address the question about one of the people in your riding, a Canadian citizen in your riding who received a letter from Toyota in the U.S.--
