The air navigation system was sold to NavCanada on November 1, 1996, so almost twelve years ago, eleven and a half years ago. NavCanada has been extremely successful in ensuring safety in this country and in a very efficient manner.

We continue to monitor them. Part 8 of the regulations under the Aeronautics Act deals with NavCanada, and we have a number of inspectors, both here and in all the regions, constantly overseeing what's going on from a safety perspective.
