There are two things I want to deal with. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1936749\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Jones, I want to say first of all that I've been good friends with Paul Spring from Phoenix Heli-Flight for many years, over 20 years. I can't believe you call yourselves hacks, because the reality is that I've never seen people spend so much time on maintenance, cleanliness, and being careful with their maintenance as helicopter pilots. I understand that a significant number of hours are spent on maintenance for every hour in the air. I think it's something like seven, or I've heard other rumours, but it's amazing how much maintenance you put into your aircraft.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1936750\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I'm interested in today, though, is productivity. I liked what you said about reducing the haystack to find the needle. I think that's something we should look at. We heard testimony that Israel puts approximately 50% of its travelling citizens onto a system, similar to the one we have, called \u201ctrusted traveller\u201d. Do you see other ways in which we could increase the productivity of the country by reducing the lineups, the queueing lanes, etc.? That's something we're interested in, certainly, but do you see other ways in which we could increase the productivity besides these? Do you see this as the only low-hanging fruit we can identify, or how can we do this?</p>",

J'aimerais aborder deux choses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1936749\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Jones, je tiens tout d'abord \u00e0 dire que je suis un bon ami de Paul Spring de Phoenix Heli-Flight depuis de nombreuses ann\u00e9es, plus de 20 ans. Je ne peux pas croire que vous vous d\u00e9pr\u00e9ciez vous-m\u00eames, parce que je n'ai jamais vu personne consacrer autant de temps \u00e0 l'entretien, au nettoyage et aux petits soins de son v\u00e9hicule que les pilotes d'h\u00e9licopt\u00e8res. Je comprends qu'un nombre consid\u00e9rable d'heures sont pass\u00e9es \u00e0 l'entretien pour chaque heure de vol. Je pense que c'est quelque chose comme sept, ou j'ai entendu d'autres rumeurs, mais c'est \u00e9tonnant le temps que vous consacrez \u00e0 l'entretien de votre a\u00e9ronef.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1936750\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutefois, ce qui m'int\u00e9resse aujourd'hui, c'est la productivit\u00e9. J'ai aim\u00e9 lorsque vous avez dit de r\u00e9duire la meule de foin pour trouver l'aiguille. Je pense que nous devrions l'envisager. Nous avons entendu un t\u00e9moignage selon lequel Isra\u00ebl met environ 50 p. 100 de ses citoyens voyageurs dans un syst\u00e8me, semblable \u00e0 celui que nous avons, appel\u00e9 \u00ab voyageurs fiables \u00bb. Y a-t-il d'autres moyens d'augmenter la productivit\u00e9 du pays en r\u00e9duisant les queues, les couloirs d'attente, etc.? Ces choses nous int\u00e9ressent, certainement, mais connaissez-vous d'autres moyens d'accro\u00eetre la productivit\u00e9? Consid\u00e9rez-vous cela comme la seule m\u00e9thode simple que nous puissions trouver, ou comment pouvons-nous y arriver?</p>"
