Thanks, Mr. Chairman.

Merci beaucoup, messieurs et mesdames, pour la présentation.

I'd like to go back to the first part of the presentation and explore, maybe mine it with any of you--Mr. Pepper, Mr. Janigan. I really appreciate the fact that you've put this in writing. I appreciate the fact that you've given us some comparative data.

Maybe for our own purposes in the future, Mr. Chairman, we could ask the Department of Transport to give us comparative evaluations of data, so we find out comparatively where the world is going and not where Transport Canada's going by itself.

I'm really struck by the fact that the Americans are further ahead in terms of compensation in particular. Is that what I saw, that the Americans have a compensation fund, or is it the service performance?
