Well, Canada has been "
presently reviewing the daily maximum hours duty time/flying time rules" for at least 45 years that I know of, and they are nowhere near any conclusions.
Why this is so should be a matter of an independant, objective examination say, of a Royal Commission like the Moshansky Commission way back in '89. so Canadians can know why their Ministry of Transport has succeeded in avoiding addressing this scientifically-established issue for so long.

It appears that no matter what happens, Canada is not serious about fatigue issues.
