Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to go back to what you said, Mr. Beatty. You reported 17 cases to Transport Canada, that is true. However, complaints were filed directly with Toyota Canada. Your corporate culture is such that you do not make them public. You are trying to convince us today that you set up a whole series of expert committees with Japan, etc., four months before there was a recall. That is too long to wait for the safety of the population.
You talked to us about technology. It evolves so quickly that we need to see all of the complaints quickly transferred to Transport Canada, and the department has to have the necessary budgets to keep a close eye on all of this with the equipment and the technology that is needed.
That is what I would have liked to hear you say today, you and Mr. Inaba. I would have liked you to say that you understand that there has to be an independent body in Canada to ensure safety. I understand that your business will do everything it can to prevent this from happening again, but if it does, we cannot have four months going by before a recall. At the very least, all of the complaints have to be compiled and Transport Canada has to be able to tell the population what is going on.
Once again, today, I see that you are trying to protect your corporation, but our job is to protect our citizens against your corporate culture, as it happens.
