Following the events, we did of course meet to explain everything and take necessary measures. I don't want to provide you with every detail on the measures we have taken, since this meeting is public and security is always a delicate issue.
Transport Canada officials visited all our tenants. In addition, we conducted tests to identify intrusions. Once again, I cannot give you all the details. If you set up an alarm system in your house, you won't print the access code in Le Journal de Montréal. The same goes for us. We have to protect certain security measures. But you can take it for granted we took the incident very seriously. There are limits, though. We cannot set up systems that are 100% full proof. Can we improve the system? Yes. Can we set up intrusion tests more frequently? Yes. In fact, that is what we have started to do.
As I was saying to Mr. McGuinty a few moments ago, we have to put things in perspective. There were two intrusions into the restricted area. One of the two occurred a mile and a half from the terminal building, under the fence, and the intruder quickly thought better and then took off. The other intrusion was in a restricted area, but the intruder was accompanied by the staff member of a company, a tenant. Those are the two instances where the restricted area was breached. The third incident, which I mentioned to Mr. McGuinty and found more significant—even though the restricted area was not involved—was the intrusion into Cara's premises. Cara prepares meals and food for flights by Air Canada and other carriers. In conjunction with officials from Air Canada and other airlines, we visited Cara to ensure that the company had indeed applied the new access control measures. We also visited other tenants to ensure they had taken the incidents seriously. We will continue to do this.
But is the system full proof? No, we cannot say it is, given that you can never eliminate the human factor. But we do know more monitoring is required. We have to see it all in perspective however even if someone were to get on the airfield we should bear in mind that the airfield is competently patrolled. The person might be able to get near a plane, but there are other levels of security in place to prevent genuine threats.
