But surely there are lots of travellers in Canada who don't go across to the United States and who don't need to have their security clearance through the United States. The U.S. has agreed, on the overflight issue, to give an exemption for domestic-to-domestic flights, so obviously they don't consider those to be at the same high level of security as the international flights are. Why can't we see a system that recognizes that within Canada?
