Thank you for that.
I'd like to read a quote from Mr. Gordon Rhodes, who appeared before our committee about two weeks ago. He said, “...there's a lack of proper enforcement going on. I think that Transport Canada has dropped the ball. And I'm not pointing fingers at individuals; it's the system.”
We have this safety management system in place within the railway industry. The government is trying to push the same thing within the airline industry. I guess our concern is that the SMS is a contributory factor to the whole issue of railway safety.
Is this not, as you've pointed out, Mr. Cotie, a way of rewarding CEOs for bad behaviour, to put in place an SMS system where they can essentially balance off safety to increase their profits?
I'd like to ask all three of you that question around SMS and safety.
