It is understandable that for the people who are currently in positions of control and authority over provincial diving regulations, it is difficult for them to let go of existing regulations and to make steps internally to move toward fully adopting the CSA standards into the provincial regulations. However difficult it is to let go, it is time for change, as provincial regulations across Canada-for the most part-have past their effective \u201cservice life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the CSA continues to develop, grow and change by the input of industry leaders, clients and regulatory personnel, the further apart the provincial regulations and CSA standards will become. The greater the separation between these two camps, the greater challenges we will all experience.<\/p>\n<p>This issue of CADC Magazine is all about change and a call to action for provincial governments to recognize it is time to collectively adopt the CSA standards and to participate in the future development of the standards that will protect the interests of any specific provincial variance.
