At that point in time, Transport Canada and Air Canada had a fight, and the inspectors weren't there. For about a year the inspectorate was not in attendance at those meetings. At those meetings we raised such issues as how the Canada Labour Code might apply to SMS. Well, Air Canada wasn't interested in that question; the inspectors weren't there.
Similarly, as we understand it, the airlines will receive an audit. The inspectors will go in and ask if you've met the requirements on our staff instruction in tab 4. Then there will be an assessment that they have met them or have not.
We will not be invited to those meetings by Transport Canada. We will not be invited to those meetings by the air carrier. Transport regards the certificate holder as the one they do transactions with, and we are not invited.
We may meet separately with Transport Canada. In fact we asked in December 2006 how they approve Canada Labour Code requirements in the airlines. Five months later we have yet to get a response. We were phoned two months ago and asked if we were still interested in the response. I said, “Yes, we would still like it”, but we have yet to get it.
