Madam Chair, in the audit we actually refer to the department taking a reactive approach to setting regulations in a number of regulatory cases. For example, they wait to see what regulations the U.S. sets before Canada sets its regulations. What we are concerned about is that in a number of cases ,Transport Canada perhaps has research information or has done its own research into a certain issue. We certainly understand the need to understand what is going on with regulation in the U.S., but I think Transport Canada needs to be quite clear on how much of its approach is reacting to what the U.S. does in regulation and how much of its approach is about Canada's setting its own regulations.
