In the United States they have a program called ASRS, whereby people can confidentially report to an independent company or group.
I believe it's part of NASA, is it not, Richard?
They do the investigation. They strip the individual's name off the investigative report. They investigate it. They report back to the individual and to the FAA on the outcome of the investigation.
Transport Canada started to do this a number of years ago. I was involved in some of the preliminary discussions with Transport Canada. Then the whole thing came off the rails. Why? A large part of it is cost. You need systems and to do it is not cheap. The British do the same sort of thing with a confidential reporting system.
In Canada we have SECURITAS. It's still part of the TSB, which is overwhelmed and can't cope with it. But it needs to rest somewhere outside of, necessarily, Transport Canada, where someone can look at it, and if the issue or the problem lies with the regulator, that being Transport, or the air carrier or the air carrier operator with them, action can be taken to correct it. We don't have that system here. We started down that road. We stopped. It hasn't been implemented.
