My simple answer is that the delegation system that Transport Canada has is a trust-based relationship. You don't become a delegate in the Canadian delegation system without trust from Transport Canada. That trust requires a relationship. There is a standard that has been set where there needs to be at least a one-year working relationship with Transport Canada to become a delegate. History has shown that it takes longer than that to be able to get the level of trust that's required. I think that's one of the key elements in the Canadian system that is different from some of the other systems, the element of trust.
