Transport Canada has said numerous times that they're going to do this, that they recognize the deficiencies, but they don't have the resources.
Six months ago they told a group of us, including me and Colleges and Institutes Canada, that they were going to get something out in the fall, and they haven't done it. It's a question of resources for them, but they need to speak to industry about what is needed in that program.
They need to stop micromanaging. They don't need to detail the entire list of what needs to be taught. They need to assess competence when students are coming out, but it's a fallacy for them to dictate every course and every task that has to be taught at colleges. They should talk to the industry and simplify the process.
In the U.S., the FAA is getting out of the business of dictating the curricula. Transport Canada might consider that.
