Transport committee  Well, I don't know what you mean by liability. I think the first-party liability regime when you have a victim, for example, because there was a spill and there was pollution, is encompassed by international conventions that are brought into Canadian law via the Marine Liability

Transport committee  And it's on your record.

Transport committee  Right now, we don't. Because our fleet is international, we recruit people internationally. Of course, if Canadian sailors want to work on international ships, they can, as can people of other nationalities. We have a hard time keeping people for the long term in this industry a

Transport committee  We are trying to promote careers at sea. Practices are changing in the way ships are managed. For example, there are contracts and shorter crew rotations so that people can go home more often. We think it's important to promote careers at sea and present them as a good option. I

Transport committee  Yes. We supported that recommendation because our belief is that all safety and incident response issues should be based on risk analysis anyway. We have no objection to the expert panel's recommendation, especially since the type of traffic can change. There are oil tankers in

Transport committee  Sorry, I lost part of it. Could you restate your question, please?

Transport committee  With respect to our ships, the Canadian regulations do import the UN IMO Code, so there are no differences. That's pretty much the same as far as our ships are concerned, so we have no issue with that.

Transport committee  It has helped to implement a philosophy of continuous improvement and the culture of safety, so it has been a useful tool in helping that.

Transport committee  I remember when this was introduced about 15 years ago, everybody pulled their hair and said this was so difficult, so much paper, so much process. It was seen as very burdensome. However, after it was implemented and people started to work with it, they realized they could do it

Transport committee  Yes. Actually, on our side, the training we are providing to our members is the basic dangerous goods training. Under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, any entity that deals with the transportation of dangerous goods has to make sure that all employees have appropriate t

Transport committee  No, we don't do that. For example, if our members want container lines and are involved in [Inaudible--Editor] transportation, they will have to have their own training with specialized trainers to make sure that their people know that. Anyway they will have worldwide protocols,

Transport committee  Yes, actually the ports and the terminals have all the information in advance. Not to [Technical difficulty--Editor] and so on and so forth. I don't know if they have it but it's certainly not something that is handled by the ports. The ship provides information to the port and t

Transport committee  Well, that's something, you know, especially on the containers. On the bulk side, you know pretty much what you have in your ships' holds because very often you have surveyors, for example, when the things are put in the holds and you may have some testing or whatever. But when i

Transport committee  The shipowner does not make routine inspections of the containers. The only ones who will do inspections of containers are the customs administrators. They are the ones who can open containers.

Transport committee  Do you mean a classification society?
