Thank you, Chair.
I'll start with a first question to Mr. Chomniak. I have a note here that you said you strongly recommend the use of SMS for some of the obvious reasons we've heard. I understand you take some issue with the fact that they're not audited; your vessels are inspected, but they're not audited. I gather your concern is that the third parties that are capable of auditing are in five metropolitan areas, I think you said. So there's a lack of third party auditing possibilities. Secondly, you're saying that maybe just inspecting a vessel is not the best use of personnel by Transport Canada because they should be cross-trained to do audits as well.
Am I understanding you correctly in all of those points?
