Is that a little better?
Transport Canada has brought into place the alternate service delivery program, and they also established what they call the blue decal program, which they intended to replace safety management systems for smaller vessels. The blue decal program is a voluntary self-reporting system that seems to have very little oversight or monitoring by Transport Canada.
In conclusion, then, I would like to stress again that the Council of Marine Carriers is a strong supporter of an audited safety management system approach, and one that is appropriate to the size of the vessel and the nature of the operations.
I'd like to thank you very much for the privilege of talking to you this morning. I'm ready to answer to any questions you may have.
