are contained in a Federal/Provincial/Territorial Memorandum of

Initially established in 1988, expansions to
the scope of the agreement, and amendments to the standards have been
developed by the Task Force since that time, and have been endorsed by the
Council of Ministers Responsible for Transportation and Highway Safety at
its meetings in 1991, 1994, 1997, 2004, 2008 and 2009.
