The only points I would make, I will make extremely briefly, Madam Chair, and Mr. Emerson has already underscored one of the points. Since 2010, the CTA has suggested in its annual reports to Parliament that its own-motion power, its ability to initiate inquiries on its own motion, be tied less specifically to international air travel. Currently, that's really what it's tied to. We used that own-motion authority to launch the Air Transit tarmac delay inquiry. We believe, as Mr. Emerson has indicated in reviewing the results of his review, that within reasonable parameters, it may make sense for that authority to be available to us more broadly. That would bring our tool kit into line with that of other independent regulators, and it would allow us to respond with greater agility to challenges in the transportation system.
