Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll take the first minute to raise a notice of motion for Thursday's meeting:
(1) That this committee demands that the Minister of Transport do a risk assessment of the proposed “mixed option” flight attendant ratios and release it to the Transport Committee prior to further moves to change the existing flight attendant ratio requirements.
(2) That this committee demands that the Minister of Transport conduct the 8 actions required by Cabin Safety Standards in their November 23, 2004 recommendations prior to any further move to lower flight attendant ratios, and that the results be released to the committee.
(3) That this committee demands that all documents related to changes in flight attendant ratios be made public by the minister prior to any further moves to change flight attendant ratios.
(4) That this committee insists that the minister await the Transportation Safety Board investigation of Air France Flight 358 prior to any further moves to reduce flight attendant ratios.
Again, that's my notice of motion for Thursday's meeting. I'll provide a written copy after this meeting, but I wanted to satisfy the 48-hour requirement.
Thank you very much for your presentation. It was extremely detailed--certainly the best presentation we've seen on this issue.
