Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses here today. I appreciate all your points of view. I think, quite clearly, what you're saying about the small carriers is that there's a need for a more detailed look at how to implement SMS for them. Quite clearly, the testimony of Mr. Nourse and Mr. Prud'Homme suggests that we are not there yet.
I note, Mr. McKenna, in some of your comments in Wings magazine that you say that you're in the process of drafting an SMS guide through ATAC. The delay in implementation for the small carriers... I think we'd probably all agree that this is something that is required. That gets the nod, I think, from everyone.
I'm really glad to see you present that, because the unanimity about that is really important to us as a committee. It backs up the direction, as well. I guess the question is how long this is going to take. And will we have the flexibility within SMS programs to identify the northern issues and to identify the issues of very small carriers, which are completely different? You can't set up a culture of safety with very small carriers unless you have unanimity among the small carriers that this is the culture. Is that not correct?
The same applies in the north. You're going to have regulations that outline SMS to a greater extent than they do for the larger carriers. I'd like to have Mr. Nourse and Mr. Prud'Homme comment on that.
