I understand that if we're going to be at the top of the safety pile then perhaps we should have stricter standards, but that's another matter. The question is to you, Mr. Boucher. Would that be putting Canadian pilots at a disadvantage? The response from the department has been that we will respect standards elsewhere. If our pilots are only inspected yearly or every two years and the international standard is every six months, would that not restrict their capacity to fly abroad?
