One of the other proposed changes, which is in a different topic area, was exempting Transport Canada investigators from having to testify at civil trials unless so directed by the minister. I would like to get some background information as to why it might be that people who are involved in a civil trial might want Transport Canada investigators to testify, and there must be some balancing of interests. Again, if the direction must come from the minister, I'd also like to know if there are some objective standards around that decision-making process.
I'm not sure who would like to tackle that, but give me some background information, some context on why you think it's necessary and what kind of balancing of interest there might be. Is there some objectivity in terms of decisions that ultimately might be made by the minister?
