No, I don't think clause 12 should be abolished. As I stated earlier, I think SMS is a good thing, but it must be accompanied by a parallel system of regulatory oversight. This has to be there in order to comply with international law, to which Canada is a subscriber.
The ICAO standard requires operational oversight. So does the European Union--25 countries. They all require operational oversight of SMS. So how does Canada expect to lead the world by going it alone? I don't know.
