Transport committee  Sure. Bottom line, that's what we need to do. Once again, we know that terrorists learn the way we work and they try to go around the system we put in place. What if they're not using metal weapons and are using ceramic weapons? Do we have the tools to do it? That's only an exa

Transport committee  Good point.

Transport committee  I heard the comment.

Transport committee  No, I haven't seen a letter.

Transport committee  I was going to refer the answer to Mr. ... No, really, Mr. Chair, it is up to cabinet to make that decision as to whether we get the mandate or not. Obviously we're not blind; we know it could be an issue, and we're working closely. Mr. Forster, the ADM, was here two days ago an

Transport committee  We're not talking about psychological profiling but behavioural profiling, which is different. We haven't done anything with this other than talk about it as an option. Really, it's something that has been put forward by my counterpart in the United States, Mr. Hawley, as a way o

Transport committee  Mr. Chair, I think it's a very good point. As I said, we're not there yet, and it would obviously need much more training than what we do. My only fear is that if we're still looking only for objects, we might miss the greater picture, so we need to put the efforts.... Whenever w

Transport committee  There were three questions there. Perhaps I can ask Mr. McGarr to answer the first one, about Clear.

Transport committee  On the job market, the turnover rate, and all that, yes, I was asked the question by Senator Kenny. The turnover rate right now is 12%. And yes, depending on the area we're talking about, it's different. Alberta, for instance, has a higher turnover rate, mainly because of the com

Transport committee  Mr. Chair, I'd ask Mr. McGarr to give the answer to this. I'm not a technology whiz. He is better than I am.

Transport committee  For class I, there is a regulation that we need an armed presence and a response time of less than five minutes to intervene if there is an emergency. For class II, it's roughly the same thing. But once again, on regulation, Mr. Duncan is the expert, and I will let him respond.

Transport committee  I'll start the answer and I'll ask my chief operating officer to give you the details. All class I airports--those would be Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax--and class II airports--

Transport committee  I don't think my colleague is in a good position to answer that, but I've always said, ever since the story broke, that it was kind of unfair to have ADM get a beating the way it did, because it is a very good organization. We work pretty well with other airports across the count

Transport committee  Mr. Chair, we're working with Transport Canada on committees. We're not the experts; we're learning. But yes, we're open for any mandate that the cabinet and government would give us.

Transport committee  I'm not in a position to give you an answer on this. It would cost a lot in terms of what happened on 9/11, if that is your question. But I'm not the expert on this.
