As to the alignment of international safety standards, coalition members operate in a global marketplace, and an alignment with international safety standards and procedures—which often address the same issues—would benefit regulators, industry, and Canadians in the following manner: it would eliminate the need to duplicate testing, where the tests are only slightly different; it would facilitate trade and reduce costs to consumers; and it would enable closer cooperation and enforcement by Health Canada and its counterparts around the world.
Pour ce qui est maintenant de l'alignement sur les normes de sécurité internationales, les membres de la Coalition opèrent dans un environnement mondial, et l'alignement sur les normes et procédures de sécurité internationale, qui porte souvent sur les mêmes questions, serait bénéfique pour les instances de réglementation, l'industrie et les Canadiens.
