These recommendations were made by professionals, experts in their field, and in many cases they go further than other countries' rules. If I agreed with your line of thought, Mr. Laframboise, I would have to advise our fellow citizens not to fly on Air France, British Airways or any of the American airlines. You seem to feel it's a dangerous proposition. I'm trying to tell you that people can fly safely onboard these airlines' aircraft under our proposal, and in many cases our regulations will be stiffer than in other countries.
