I have a lot of trouble accepting that you’re minimizing the importance of this report that has to be produced and signed by the minister. Regardless of what Transport Canada puts on its website, I want the minister to affix his signature on the document and that he be the one to tell us what the transportation situation is in Canada. Once the document is signed, he will ensure that what is on the website conforms to the report. In my opinion, it is important for the minister to be accountable for the report. I’m having a problem with you not attaching importance to that. Maybe this is the new government’s new way of governing.
