I am very disappointed in the minister's response. Somehow, we, as committee members, want to ensure that Transport Canada and the minister will be bound by the highest safety standards. I think we're doing our job, but there is an attempt to lower the bar. I think you're telling us that the bill falls short of our wishes. Mr. Chairman, I have a major problem. I want this bill to meet the highest safety standards. I do not want to reinvent the wheel but I do want compliance with the highest safety standards. This means that we would have a bill that would lead in certain cases to the highest standards not being met for administrative reasons. Quite honestly, I have a problem with that.
