Mr. Speaker, I am glad the hon. member raised that question because today I have assigned two additional duties to the Canadian Aviation Transportation Security Authority, known as CATSA.
The first initiative is the implementation of an enhanced restricted area pass system at major airports across the country, which will include the use of centralized data banks supporting the issuance, verification, cancellation and tracking of restricted area passes. The second is the random screening of non-passengers entering restricted areas at major Canadian airports. This will build on the existing security requirement for people who have access to restricted areas at airports.
We had the safest system at our airports before the September 11. We have built on that and we are building on it again today.
