That is correct. This is new legislation; so this has never been in the act before. The idea is that the department would establish a program, but if one already exists, I have no objection to it being applied. However, I do want it to be maintained. I am not expecting a new program to be introduced, provided the oversight and surveillance program that already exists is adequate. The words "in order to achieve the highest level of safety" mean that the minister must ensure that the oversight program will go hand-in-hand with the appropriate level of safety.
