Public Safety committee If I may, I'll start with the second one. I'm not sure I quite understand it, but let me try this. There is somebody at the airport for whom we will not issue an emergency direction, and we tell the airline this person is clear to go and the airline still doesn't board that per
March 1st, 2007Committee meeting
Marc Grégoire
Public Safety committee No, no. We will make up our mind. If we tell the air carrier this person is not the same person as the name on the list appears to be, this is a green light. But if the air carrier still refuses to bring that person on board, there's nothing we can do. It is not because of this p

Marc Grégoire
Public Safety committee We will have people on my staff seven days a week, 24 hours a day, answering calls from the airline and verifying that the person is or is not the person who's on the list.

Marc Grégoire
Public Safety committee If we're not sure and we think there is a security threat for the flight, we will issue a security directive, an emergency directive.
March 1st, 2007Committee meeting
Marc Grégoire
Public Safety committee Yes, but that's a purely theoretical question.
March 1st, 2007Committee meeting
Marc Grégoire
Public Safety committee Again, that's purely theoretical. But this list will be made by people. We will have a committee of Transport Canada, CSIS, and RCMP. They will be analyzing the facts surrounding people, and they will be recommending that people be placed on the list. Since this is made by peopl

Marc Grégoire
Public Safety committee We will have a continuous review of all the names on the list by the three parties I just mentioned, so a trigger would be from one of the agencies. Another trigger would be from the passenger--
March 1st, 2007Committee meeting
Marc Grégoire
Public Safety committee I just said a permanent review of the list every 30 days. Each and every name will have to be looked at again, and if information is provided to take the name off, it will be taken off.
