That does not reassure me. The reality is that the risk assessment from the department says there's increased risk. The mitigating factor that was recommended was rejected, and that is on the record. I think it's very important that we stress that the risk assessment from the department indicated increased safety concerns.
I have two other questions for you, Minister Cannon. In your opening speech you made reference to assuring that we meet all the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization, which requires annual safety audits. We don't have annual safety audits; we don't even have biennial or triennial safety audits for certain airlines. So how can you say we're meeting the requirements, when very clearly we are in violation of ICAO's most important requirements?
Second, in November 2006, while you were minister, you signed off on what was essentially a directive to close all enforcement investigations into safety violations being committed. How many files were closed? What is the extent of the safety violations? What broken safety rules were swept under the carpet? What is the extent of what was simply swept under the carpet last November?
