Mr. Bélanger is beginning to see the light. It's getting better.
Here is the problem. This whole debate between Transport Canada and the industry started in 1998. Since September 2001, Canadians are more aware of safety issues. Our role as MPs is to make sure that industry and Transport Canada try to find a solution ensuring a certain level of safety while saving money.
That might have been acceptable in 1998 but I do not believe that, today, Canadians would tolerate the government trying to make cheeseparing savings at the expense of safety.
You have told us that the system is already in place, and I believe you because we were told that Air Transat is already using a safety management system.
How long ago did you notice that the system was already in place, Mr. Wing?
