It's very important that Transport Canada ensure that the regulations are enforced throughout the country, and that includes the north. I understand that the situation, the weather sometimes and all of that, is more difficult in very isolated areas, but we must make sure that it is safe for people to fly in and out of those isolated places, as it is safe to do from big cities. Our inspectors regularly do oversight activities with those small operators that go in and out of those small, isolated places.
