Neither do I. All I can tell you is the Canadian experts I've followed have always held up UK training/testing as superior.
EDIT: one obvious difference is test length. When I was instructing, the examiners took candidates out for about 15 minutes, tops, vs. your 45 minutes.
The driver's permit system has changed since I last taught, though. Students in Ontario now go through a "graduated" system that grants increasing priveleges based on experience (restrictions include number of passengers, night vs. daytime driving, freeways vs. non-freeway access).
