What is the relationship between CanVec data and GeoBase data? See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec
For Road network, CanVec data and GeoBase data are the same with few exceptions... - Attribute names are different, but the content is not. - GeoBase geometry is splitted at province boundaries, Canvec at 50K mapsheet boundaries.

Or can you only match on the Hausdorff distance?
