Transport committee  Health Canada representatives take part in our national discussions when we consider changes at Dorval, for example. They take part in that discussion to assess the impact of changes. However, it is not up to us to ask Health Canada that.

Transport committee  It's an issue for Health Canada, I believe.

Transport committee  It isn't me.

Transport committee  No.

Transport committee  This responsibility for ADM's airports belongs to it. ADM agrees with our processes. We believe this is more ADM's responsibility to the community since it agrees with all our processes and control measures. A lot of parties are involved. We have responsibilities. In our view, A

Transport committee  There are a lot of points there. First, I'm going to focus on the second point. As regards aircraft, we are complying with ICAO's global regulations. The standards requested for all aircraft are consistent with ICAO's requests. ICAO's requirements will change, but we will comply

Transport committee  During the opening remarks, when we started the discussion, I think I explained that one of the challenges in an airport is to consider many differing aspects--there's a neighbourhood, people want to fly, they want airports to be convenient.

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. Generally speaking, I still believe the process we've had for some years in general works well. We ha
