Transport committee  We have done several campaigns targeted towards the 703 sector. A good example involves a float plane operation in B.C. We're looking at some areas of this segment of the industry in various places. Our oversight activities are always evolving. We're looking at the greatest amount of risk.

Transport committee  We carry out approximately 10,000 a month and nearly 120,000 a year. That includes activities involving certification, pilot licence verification, simulator verification, medical records, and so forth. A huge number of services are delivered every year, roughly equivalent to 10,000 a month.

Transport committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Mr. Aubin, for your question. Transport Canada provides nearly 120,000 civil aviation activities per year. They range from reviewing pilot medical assessments, which can take a few minutes, to certifying the C Series aircraft, which took Transport Canada inspectors some 150,000 hours.

Transport committee  Actually, the only way to really replicate everything that could happen in the flight is through a simulator, not in the airplane.

Transport committee  Madam Chair, yes, absolutely. I think if you were looking at all of the other advanced countries of this world, they would keep their pilot training in the simulators. It's the same thing for the inspectors as well.

Transport committee  Thank you very much for the question, Madam Chair. I started flying about four years ago, so I know quite a lot about simulators. The way we look at the business today is to try to train the pilot to the best capacity to be able to answer to any type of emergency he may face.
