Scott Vaughan

Chair, yes, if I may. I wasn't very clear on one of the questions from an honourable member. It was on the resumption of inspections. If I wasn't clear, I want to apologize.

He's actually quite right, the inspections of the aircraft stopped in the mid-1990s. For a decade there weren't any, because the funding for that program ceased in the mid-1990s. You quite rightly pointed out that the system resumed in 2005-06.

I just wanted to make that point clear, Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Fraser.

Again, on behalf of all members of the committee, I want to thank not only you for coming here today, but also your staff, for the excellent work they continue to do. Thank you very much.
