Transport committee  Mr. Benson.

Transport committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, everybody, for appearing before us here today. I want to start with Mr. Switzer. We understand that the changes to seat belt requirements on coach buses were, in part, an effort to harmonize the Canadian and U.S. regulations. In your view, wa

Transport committee  Madam Chair, I thought we gave some time. I think because this motion was moved by the Liberal government House leader.... We certainly take our votes seriously.
