Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm thrilled. I didn't realize we were going to have time for a second round. That's great.
I'd like to move to chapter 3, “Oversight of Air Transportation Safety”.
There are 99 million passengers. As has been pointed out, a lot of us in this room are part of that 99 million. That's a lot of people.
You said in your initial tabling that “Although Transport Canada deserves credit for being the first civil aviation authority in the world to introduce regulations for this new approach, we found weaknesses in several areas”, and “The rest of this transition process will be more complex to manage, with over 2,000 smaller companies affected”.
My understanding is that they've gone to a new system. I'm not all that thrilled about the new system, but it's a little late for that. If I understand it correctly, rather than the Government of Ontario providing hands-on inspections and hands-on assurance for the public that safety measures are being met, it's now going to be the responsibility of the airlines themselves. The government will now be responsible for overseeing their systems to make sure they have systems and are doing this the right way, if I understand it.
