Let me answer.
With respect, I'll just go back to the beginning of your question, Mr. Volpe. Regarding DaxAir, first of all, this is a level carrier that is not part of the national audit program and they're not governed by SMS. That's the first thing.
With respect to taking enforcement action against other carriers that may have been observed by DaxAir carrying out activities that were untoward, we asked DaxAir to provide us with evidence, because like anybody else, when we go to the tribunal, when we go to court, we need evidence. Our inspectors need something to use, and we were not provided with that evidence. So absent evidence, we cannot go to the aviation tribunal with those cases. We have conducted enhanced surveillance there.
With respect to the national audit program, I'm happy to cover this, because this is only covering six or seven carriers, bigger carriers. That's it. All the others are not under the national audit program. When the national audit program was cancelled, there were other staff instructions given. Mr. Preuss showed you the one-inch thick document there, but there is more than that. We have established program validation. We have established assessment. People who are actually monitoring the establishment of SMS are there with the certificate holders more than they were ever there before. Before, we had a frequency of inspection policy stating what the frequency of inspection would be concerning that type of carrier, depending on the nature and risk of the operation. We still have this under the implementation of SMS. We have not changed that.
When people do validation, do not think they're just sitting at their desk looking at papers. Yes, they will start by looking at papers regarding systems, but then they'll travel on site. I have all the staff instructions there, and I could quote for you what they have to do to validate on site.
This is more than we used to do under the old audit program.
