In our situation, we have an SMS. When hired, every employee is made familiar with the vessels but at the same time, they have to sign off on our SMS. Once their name is on that piece of paper, a Transport Canada officer will say they are so and so, and see they have signed off on the SMS. They ran it, they understand it. They don't have any problems with it, simple as that. Not a lot of bureaucracy. In a small mom-and-pop operation, you don't need a binder that thick. We've already got enough paperwork. But if you have a good SMS based on your equipment, nothing generic, everything they're going to use within that business, that's enough. That's what should be implemented.
