One of the big problems we discovered with the regulator was that they were operating under 40-year-old ANOs and air regulations. They still had provisions in there for navigators on board airliners. There hadn't been a navigator in existence for at least thirty years. They were antiquated regulations. It was a real mishmash.
Dubbin, in his inquiry, had recommended that they do something about rewriting the air regulations, but they didn't do it. It was avoided for decades by successive governments, so that was one of the aspects I really pressed. Transport Canada subsequently did a marvellous job in rewriting the old ANOs and air regulations into the new Aeronautics Act and into CARs, the Canadian civil air regulations.
This was done as a result of the way they went about implementing it. You may or may not be aware that they set up twelve working groups under the Dryden implementation project. These working groups had representatives from all the groups within the aviation industry. They worked for three years, dealing with the way they should implement my recommendations. One of the results was the new Aeronautics Act.
