Madam Speaker, security is paramount to all Canadians when they travel.
I have travelled extensively. I have to reassure my hon. colleague, and as he said, being involved with the airline system he knows that Canada has one of the best security systems in the world to look after its passengers. There have been times when I have travelled abroad and have seen cockpit doors being opened, pilots going back and forth, having a smoke, talking to their wives in the back. Canada would not allow that.
I have talked extensively to pilots. I can say that if there is one system in the world that is secure, it is right here in Canada. May I remind my hon. colleague that if we were to take lessons from our good friends to the south on how they do things, we would certainly learn a few things. The reverse is that if they were to take some lessons from us, I am sure this system would go a long way.
CATSA has held international forums that people attend. Americans were invited. I am sure they will participate again in order for all of us to learn from each other and make the world a safer place.
