Transport committee  It's a complicated story, but when we require it, it's basically as part of their lease. As part of operating the airport, they're required to consult. So it depends on which airport it is. Wherever the requirements exist, it's part of their responsibility to operate that airport

Transport committee  I don't think I'm qualified to speak on the other airports. We don't have regulations that require the noise abatement procedures; it's up to policy.

Transport committee  I think we have a lot of knowledge of what's going on—not necessarily me, but within the department. Anything we do by way of regulation, obviously we have to be able to justify.

Transport committee  I'm not sure I have the information here in terms of the constitution of that, but that's certainly the membership of that committee. I believe that's information that we should be able to get and supply to you specifically, because once that is submitted to us, I believe it is p

Transport committee  The obligation is to consult when they're changing procedures. Those procedures may not have changed substantially in recent times, so they may not have had an obligation to consult in recent times.
