Transport committee  Allow me to give you one remark on the role of the service provider. We are not a regulator. We are not political decision-makers. That is your role. We might have an opinion if we're asked whether we think doing this or that is better or worse. But it's only our opinion. We do n

Transport committee  My basic response would be that it is good that you have a system that has succeeded in harmonizing all the processes of the past. There is a need for a continuous effort to increase the level of verification so that the risk continues to be mitigated with proper protocols. But t

Transport committee  I cannot speak for my client, but I can assume that they decided to make this commercial decision to not lose passenger revenue and to take the risk because they got the verification from the French border authorities that the guy was indeed who he was presenting himself to be, w

Transport committee  It is a fair statement to make, but the Canadian market presents an interesting market.

Transport committee  I would divide my answer into two. As I said before, I believe the Canadian market is undergoing a process that we saw starting in Europe 20 years ago. The reason that it started here was an event that nobody wanted to happen, but sometimes those kinds of events happen and a re

Transport committee  It's a political decision, not a service-provider decision. If an RCMP officer has been 30 years with the force and is capable of doing everything and is very loyal to the Canadian flag, and if you decide that he is like that, you give the instruction to the authority, to the reg

Transport committee  There are two things. First of all, I think the American officers who did killing are individuals that are extraordinary. You cannot say there is a group of people who are officers and let's identify them as individuals so that we could put them under a group--

Transport committee  There is no 100% security or 100% risk mitigation anyhow. On the other hand, what Israel developed is similar to the NEXUS card for Israeli citizens entering and leaving the country and bypassing the lines of the border control—these are the lines that you have in the entry—with

Transport committee  I have to make a statement, Mr. Chair. I'm not a representative of the Israeli security regime. I'm an executive director in a privately held company.

Transport committee  You're referring to the behavioural recognition that exists not only in Israel but also in other countries around the world. Actually, it is a very logical and typical way to do it. If you see somebody sweating, it could be a result of his outrage about whatever, or it could be t

Transport committee  They were nice people.

Transport committee  May I answer, Mr. Chairman? We will keep order. I read through the remarks of Dr. Salter and Rafi Sela, and I believe there is a little bit of a confusion in the understanding of the system, which is the risk-based assessment on what happens in Israeli airports versus other airp

Transport committee  I agree with the fact I can take my glasses and threaten a flight attendant—or a glass or whatever--and stab her and whatever and try to convince her to open the door to the cockpit. If she makes it or doesn't—

Transport committee  I don't know.

Transport committee  It is, but we are dealing with the security that is up until the airplane--
