I don't think we should incite public alarm. Our industry is one of the safest on the planet, and we take a lot of pride in that. I think we've contributed a great deal to where the industry is today.
You refer to industrial activity. Again, I would like to make it clear to the committee that this organization would never presume to use the pulpit of this committee to drive an industrial agenda. Perhaps there are others who would, but we would never do that. We are here because we feel there are several important public policy issues that need to be addressed.
That said, we are the subject matter experts, as my colleague Captain Wiszniowski has told you. In that respect, I don't think there are many Transport Canada regulators, as you call them, who are about to come and observe our line operations and comment with the same level of expertise or experience that every one of our 3,000 pilots already has. I don't think that's where we're looking for increased regulatory presence. What we're asking the regulator to do is to regulate the structure within which we operate. There seems to be, given the timelines, as you've been apprised, some institutional inertia within the directorate around these issues. That's why we're here.
Thank you.
