Public Safety committee  Absolutely. Thank you.

Public Safety committee  In fairness to the section, it does provide two examples of what the minister may do, and it is my understanding that those examples should be, most of if not all the time, sufficient. I welcome the opportunity; we could maybe come back to propose some specific language.

Public Safety committee  I want to make the point that we're trying to help the government here. We don't want to be in a situation in which the government contemplates something, and just because it's not possible for us to do it—

Public Safety committee  Not necessarily, no. It's the broadness of “anything”. Again, as much as we want to do what we can, we want to make sure that we can.

Public Safety committee  Yes, and not just to the person at the desk. Again, this is just something that perhaps needs a bit of attention. Again, we're partners in this, we want to do what we can. We support the program. We just bring attention to what appears to be, at least at first blush, a broad scop

Public Safety committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Bonsoir. Thank you very much for the opportunity to appear before your committee this evening as you consider Bill C-51 and for the opportunity for us to provide our input on part 2 of the bill, the secure air travel act.

Transport committee  We have made submissions with respect to the wet lease policy and temporary foreign workers. I'll let Dave comment on the safety, but as far as our airlines are concerned, the safety management system is again a company-wide system. It should capture all the operations.

Transport committee  I really just want to thank you again. We do sincerely appreciate the opportunity to be here. Hopefully, we were able to clarify some of the misconceptions of SMS. Our airlines are incredibly passionate about this. Safety is the most important thing for an airline, and SMS is a g

Transport committee  No. To be perfectly honest, I don't know the background and experience of all the inspectors, but I can't imagine that this would be an issue. There are many air carriers, probably more air carriers than there are rail companies, but that would not be an issue. Someone may want

Transport committee  Absolutely. We could actually have a whole day on that.

Transport committee  We can look at the way we treat the sector.

Transport committee  Let's be clear, though, about the suggestion that Canadians are going to U.S. airports because of safety. It's a cost issue, so that has to be perfectly clear. We can reconvene on that if you prefer, but there's no suggestion that people are going for cheaper fares because of saf

Transport committee  There are different types of inspections.

Transport committee  Please, yes. Absolutely, some of the language in that press release and the survey is completely irresponsible and unfounded. To suggest that accidents are imminent and planes are going to fall out of the sky is completely unreasonable and unfounded. We can provide you with nu
