The reason I asked that question, though, Colonel Shelley, is that DND would essentially be akin to one of the designated organizations that would be responsible for implementing that SMS system and providing the assurances and guarantees that Transport Canada would require as the regulator. The experience that DND would have acquired through the investigation would probably have more to do, or at least as much to do, with ensuring safe and secure travel on board aircraft, at least as much as it would have to do with internal DND issues. Would you not agree?
