In 2008, our office studied the transition to the safety management system. That was not what was done this year. In 2012, we did a report on how Transport Canada was overseeing civil aviation in Canada.
Our 2008 recommendation was reiterated in 2012. In 2008, we had recommended that the department identify how many inspectors and engineers it needed during and after the transition, and the skills they should have. This recommendation was also made in 2012.
