International Trade committee  With regard to CUSMA, with the sectoral annexes and the others, it levels the playing field for energy efficiency regulations. Regardless of the business, everyone has to follow the same rules to meet the standards. With regard to businesses and gender equality, it just levels the playing for all.

International Trade committee  Yes. It's usually what we will call entry-level products: top-mount refrigerators, freezers and top-load washers.

International Trade committee  Yes. Our industry is definitely looking at it because appliances are more smart with IoT. Our issue is definitely trying to be proactive in terms of what data is being collected—it's data privacy—and following standard processes that are out there currently. NIST is one that comes to mind for me.

International Trade committee  It's definitely on the table. It's definitely something that we're looking at, and it's definitely something that's very important to our manufacturers as well.

International Trade committee  That's something I could get back to you on.

International Trade committee  Sure.

International Trade committee  It's refrigerators, freezers, room air conditioners, clothes washers, clothes dryers, air cleaners and things like that.

International Trade committee  Yes.

International Trade committee  It's a consumer choice. There will be more options available. Energy Star comes at a premium, so yes, it's usually the entry-level models that are not Energy Star.

International Trade committee  Yes. It's a voluntary program. It's run by the U.S. EPA. Currently, they go through their whole standards process there. Depending on what happens to the program.... It's voluntary and it's operated by the U.S. government.

International Trade committee  Yes, there's definitely an opportunity for manufacturers to come back to Canada. A couple of companies are moving some of their manufacturing back to Canada, into the Guelph area. It is definitely an opportunity, and that's one reason we definitely support CUSMA and the labour provisions there as well.

International Trade committee  We don't have the specific numbers of products. Most manufacturing is done either in the U.S. and Mexico and then brought into Canada. Just to what Meagan was speaking about, it's the 41% that won't comply with Energy Star, and those are usually the entry-level products, so it's like your refrigerators with the freezer on the top, your top-load washers where you open the door at the top.
