With respect to companies like DaxAir Inc., have you taken note of their concerns? You probably know that these companies, these small corporations, feel they've been left to their own devices because they feel there is less oversight on the ground. They want to respect the law, but they see the competition not doing so. Have you noticed their concerns? Someone wrote to us claiming to be fearful of reprisals from Transport Canada. It would seem to me that that says volumes, for a company to decide to write to the committee, given the pressure being brought to bear on witnesses that they not appear before us. This person claims to be concerned about the industry. You could offer reassurance by saying that you've heard the message and that no one at Transport Canada will unduly put pressure on these people—these rare people—who have come forth to tell the truth.
