I disagree with you, with respect, sir; I think he was correct. I think we have made great strides in the last five years in this country in relation to air cargo security and airline passenger security. I think we have. As well, we have to balance, of course, the convenience for passengers.
But I still come to the same point, sir. If we're allowing these people coming in from other countries into our security perimeter, and you're asking Canadians to do something different, which is not to carry certain things that are already within it, are you going to say to Canadians on the plane and Americans on the plane, you can carry different things, even though the Americans or the Europeans have all of these seven-inch tools or two-inch knives?
My understanding is that all knives are not allowed within that security perimeter at this stage, even though it may be recommended by ICAO. But you're suggesting that passengers from Canada be treated more inconveniently than passengers from the United States, even though they're ultimately going to end up in the same system.
I understand your position, sir, and that you're taking the position, I understand, of the people you work for, but the reality is that it's impossible to comply with what you're suggesting without creating our own security perimeter and without inconveniencing Canadians a lot—a great amount.
Those are all my questions.
