We also have the discussion about an independent safety regulator. You mentioned the incident in 2011 when the near crash took place, and the public and the workers not being informed of this.
I have a concern, too, about an independent safety regulator. Do you think an independent safety regulator would have made a difference in that?
Perhaps all three of you could give your opinion as to whether you think.... We have Transport Canada refusing to follow a recommendation of the Transportation Safety Board that helicopter transport be by helicopters that have a 30-minute run-dry capability.
We have helicopters going a couple of hundred kilometres or more offshore, and we have the Transportation Safety Board saying that we must have this 30-minute run-dry capability. Transport Canada says no. We now have contemplation of night flights for transportation, when evidence before the helicopter inquiry was clear that they're more dangerous.
Do you think an independent safety regulator would make a difference given those sets of circumstances and given those concerns being raised?
I'd like Barbara Pike and Susan Dodd to respond as well.
