A point of order, Mr. Chair.
We received the first notice of meeting, and Mr. Martin J. Eley, Director General of Civil Aviation, was supposed to be present. Yesterday at 2:49 p.m., we received a revised notice of meeting, which indicated that Mr. Martin J. Eley would not be present. I asked Madam Clerk why and she said he had to attend a conference in Montreal. I also asked Mr. Grégoire why, and he told me that Mr. Eley was sick.
This is important, Mr. Chair, because on the issue of pilot fatigue, Mr. Eley made some comments to the CBC regarding the fact that Transport Canada had not taken into account the recommendations of a report, a study conducted in 2001. So I would like to know why Mr. Eley is not here today, and I would like him to be summoned to a future meeting, Mr. Chair.
