Let me just start the answer to that question. First of all, our aviation safety system in Canada is secure. As my colleague has indicated, our accident rates are low, although I must say that every accident is one too many.
With regard to our inspectors and work with the unions, all initiatives have come from the department. Our minister--and I can speak for myself, since I've been here eight months--since my first briefing with him on these issues, has been very diligent in making sure we do the right things and we improve our systems and processes.
Mr. Chairman, I believe the honourable member is aware of a number of announcements we have made over the past few months regarding aviation safety. Not all of them are related to what is on the agenda today, SMS, but he has heard from his colleagues, he has heard from the stakeholders, he has heard from us, and he has taken action.
