The CSA Group (formerly the Canadian Standards Association), is a not-for-profit standards organization whose primary activities are producing technical standards that are intended to address the needs of a group of affected adopters. Among the fifty-seven different areas of specialization are climate change, business management and safety and performance standards, including those for electrical and electronic equipment, industrial equipment, boilers and pressure vessels, compressed gas handling appliances, environmental protection, and construction materials.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
Province/Territory:
@9W6MXFY2mos2MO
I don't understand what this is about but if it's for a good cause and it's environmentally friendly, then go ahead and fund.
@9FCZK2L1yr1Y
No, it has shown to be unfair and biased. I would support replacing it.
@9F3YN581yr1Y
Yes, this is peoples safety were talking about. Certainly CSA approved PPE would be better than risk of injury or loss of life.
@9F2VYKP1yr1Y
Leave the funding on how it is.
@9DCFY8F1yr1Y
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 6mos6MO
No, leave the funding at its current rate, unless there is an event of emergency where current funding is not enough to control the situation.
@9BP44CP2yrs2Y
Yes, but the money cannot go toward labour or bonuses.
@9BKQJDB2yrs2Y
funding is good where it is
@97V8LWC2yrs2Y
i do not have an opinon on this qustion
@96JJRBT2yrs2Y
No, and abolish it as it is liberal propaganda.
@967SY7D2yrs2Y
@93TM7X62yrs2Y
As long as it has fairness in the process, it's fine. If it doesn't we will audit and re-evaluate it's role.
@93H8MR43yrs3Y
@932ZRYN3yrs3Y
Would need to know more about this
@928X97S3yrs3Y
Review for redundancies and streamline to ensure the organization is not top heavy.
@8ZTSR7D3yrs3Y
Not knowledgeable enough to answer.
@8ZT5SNW3yrs3Y
No, there are many flaws that need to be addressed instead of increasing funding
@8W4BGQ5New Democratic3yrs3Y
Never heard of them, abolish and make relevant in individual industry
@8VSVZSD3yrs3Y
There need to be stricter guidelines and increasing the budget isn't going to do that.
@8VRD2783yrs3Y
Depends on how much fund they need to sustain the technical standards.
@8VJ8ZRD3yrs3Y
No Decrease but keep what's in place now
@8VHFQYB3yrs3Y
Keep the funding at the same level.
@8VBTBZ53yrs3Y
@8VBDV4SNew Democratic3yrs3Y
No, I am satisfied with the current amount of funding
@Canadian13yrs3Y
If this has bearing on safety and health of citizens, then yes.
@Steeviemac3yrs3Y
Yes, the standards developed by the CSA support environmental, household, and worker safety.
@8TXCC9Y3yrs3Y
@8TRPMHX3yrs3Y
I am unsure at this moment/ don’t have enough information to formulate an opinion
@8TR6XWR3yrs3Y
@8TNJXJK3yrs3Y
Keep it up to date with cost
@8TLWKBH3yrs3Y
Yes! Researching and learning about space is important!
@8S3NTLN4yrs4Y
yes only for non worker co-op and non credit unions
Depends on how important it is.
No, but don't decrease it either
@8QWBJC64yrs4Y
They don’t need additional funding from the Canadian Government, however the companies that apply should pay a percentage to help fund.
@8QQRCMVLibertarian4yrs4Y
Yes as long as the government can provide evidence that the funding is actually going to this
@8QFCQGTNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should conduct a review on the morality and effectiveness of the CSA and standards should be set before funding increases can happen.
@8QDRPS8New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, CSA funding should be increased but in return it must play its role accurately on monitoring internal and external products and much press on monitoring the industries and restaurants.
@8Q28BQH4yrs4Y
I dont understand the question
@8PJF3QF4yrs4Y
@8P9CY8Q4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if a healthy economy can justify additional spending.
@8NWJ3SPLibertarian4yrs4Y
no change, and make the manufactures legally responsible for their products, to the point of assisting in the cost of lawsuits which would be passed on to the manufacturers. Tax payers should not be responsible for devices that malfunction.
@8DBP8TM4yrs4Y
Yes, especially for areas like information technology
@8CRV6LZ4yrs4Y
What will increased funding even do? where are the funds going?
@9C7W87VRhinoceros2yrs2Y
I don’t understand the question
@9BK2RQ62yrs2Y
Have a healthy amount of funding.
@9BJY9J42yrs2Y
No, unless if they made it for a good cause
@962KL2Y2yrs2Y
Yes, but first streamline its operations
@99SZPFK2yrs2Y
Yes, but they should put stricter regulations and guidelines to protect the environment
@99SFZCX2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as they put stricter regulations on fossil feuls, and prioritze renewables
@99MVFWX2yrs2Y
Decrease Protections. Keep funding the Same
Yes. Criminalize companies that knowingly produce unsafe products.
@99KVBFJ2yrs2Y
Idk about this situation
@99BZG772yrs2Y
Yes, but publications should be freely available
@98PPJXC2yrs2Y
Yes, it should be increased but in return, it should play its role well in society
@98HL8XH2yrs2Y
Again, case by case scenario. Some probably need an increase, while other areas a decrease.
@97YCH8R2yrs2Y
Depends on how the increase the funding
@97WDKK82yrs2Y
Have a stable amount of funding.
@9CP97J41yr1Y
This is a good cause but we should focus on getting Canada out of debt and then pump money into organization
Yes, and ensure that a greater number of products imported from other countries, especially via online purchase, are inspected to ensure they meet CSA standards.
@8SHNHYV4yrs4Y
Yes, but ensure it is nonpartisan and encourages more Canadian media to be shown
@9BYJBB22yrs2Y
Ask the CSA hoe much funding is needed and determine accordingly
