The government has said in the past that to have an ongoing system of surveillance--and I hope I'm not misrepresenting the case--might be a little too costly. It would require an army of inspectors to inspect all the planes that take off from Canadian soil. I'm wondering whether you find that to be an acceptable position or whether you would ask us to consider a system that is not too different from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. It sends out health inspectors on food products that are to be introduced into the consumer market.
