Yes. In fact, the way somebody once put it, while the NEB can't track it very well, the companies are actually probably doing a great job.
Remember as well, though, that the companies would submit information to the NEB, and possibly because of the tracking system, they didn't always know if they were compliant or not; the NEB didn't get back to them in certain situations.
It's not a cut-and-dried “this is terrible and this is great”. It's a situation where half of the time everything was tracked well, where everything was done well, and half of the time it wasn't. In some cases it was simply that they didn't tick a box. In other cases, it went all the way to their not knowing they were missing a document that was due 10 years ago.
