Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to start with a little bit of a preamble, which is that my sense of what we've heard today goes back into a lot of the history, perhaps, of this program in Transport Canada. I think it has very much been a program that has concentrated on who's doing the regulation: Transport Canada, and whom they are regulating, namely the manufacturers. Now, through these steps that Transport Canada is going to put in place, I think it's going to be an effort to shift the emphasis onto for whom they are doing the regulation. It's not just who is regulating, and whom they are regulating, but it's for whom they are doing the regulation, getting this type of information from the manufacturers about their processes and the types of defects they're looking at, and getting information from other stakeholders. I think all of those types of things will be a good approach to shifting that emphasis onto for whom these regulations are being put into place.
I think we've heard before about the department's coming back and talking about that. I think what they are going through is perhaps a shift in emphasis in how they are going to do some of this regulation. I think the idea of their coming back later on and explaining the progress they've made and being able to demonstrate that would be a good step
