It's not a question that I can answer. Transport Canada has the responsibility to make sure they have enough evidence that the safety management systems are working. I don't know if the right number of audits is to audit every one of the companies over a three-year time period, or whether it should be some other time period. I can't answer that. They need to make sure they've done the analysis based on whatever level of confidence they want in those safety management systems. So I can't say whether it's the right number—whether it should be more, whether it should less. They need to analyze that and have solid grounds for selecting whatever audit program they feel is sufficient.
