Transport committee The standards are set by Transport Canada. They are regulated in terms of the protocols and the practices necessary to ensure a safe and secure industry, so the DSA would adhere to that. The opportunity is for us to work together between the DSA and Transport Canada to pursue how we go beyond what is minimum, to ensure that customers remain satisfied that their aviation sector is secure and that we're competitive globally.

Transport committee The standards for security are set by government, so you're going to see variation by country based on the regulation applied nationally. It's government accountability to set that standard. You see variation in process between Heathrow and Hong Kong because they operate in different regimes.

Transport committee Security is paramount for all of us on the panel today. Our whole industry is successful by being secure, not just by our own definition but international definitions. Given that security threats change globally all the time, CATSA does a fabulous job, along with Transport Canada, in staying ahead of that.

Transport committee Good afternoon. I'm Steve Hankinson, and I'm vice-president, planning and innovation from Vancouver Airport Authority and the former chair of the screening working group that brought together airports and airlines toward a common goal of improving screening. While we are still in very early days, and success is not guaranteed, the transition to a not-for-profit entity for CATSA represents a rare opportunity to improve an important part of the travel experience.
