Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all the witnesses for taking the time to appear before the committee.
My first question is related to the safety management system. I understand that VIA's safety management system is in place to ensure compliance with safety and security regulations and best practices. While it appears, according to the report, that you have identified, assessed and developed mitigation mechanisms for operational risks, this is only the first step. If you are indeed unable to show that the system is actually working and achieving its goals, there may as well be no system at all.
In your response, you committed to being able to demonstrate the effectiveness of your new system by April 1. Now, here we are and it's June 16. Is the system working effectively?
