It was too costly for the government. Richard and I both sat on a committee, with Transport Canada, that was dealing with implementation of a confidential reporting system. Over a number of years, we had at least two meetings with Transport Canada on that implementation, but again, the cost of implementing was very great. The Transportation Safety Board said that, with the amount of human resources and the money they had available, they couldn't deal with the volume of confidential reports they were getting through SECURITAS.
In the United States, it is completely separate. It is part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. They deal with confidential reporting from anybody, as far as dealing with aviation goes. They do the investigation, then they file a report, and they also advise the person who reported it. We don't do that here. We still have SECURITAS on the safety board and they still do it, but I believe it is still overwhelmed. You could ask them where they are at with it.
It did start. Transport Canada was looking at how to do it, at whether to leave it with the Transportation Safety Board and allocate more funds for the hardware, software, and human resources, or to put it into an agency that would be funded and operated separately. But it never happened.
