I should tell you that we cannot count specifically in these instances how many people are affected, but civil aviation in Transport Canada has the largest chunk of the budget. Close to one-third of all resources of the department are in support of civil aviation--the safety programs, not the security but just the safety programs. We have over 1,400 people devoted to safety. This is where we have the largest group of inspectors spread out around the country.
We have one of the best records worldwide in aviation safety, and we're quite proud of it, but we're not sitting on our laurels. We're trying to improve it further. That's why we have introduced the concept of safety management systems. We want to go further. We want to have yet a better safety record in this country.
So airplanes are safe, and passengers are flying safely in this country. We never hesitate to ground an airline or to ground an aircraft.
These numbers that you have reported prove that the system works. These numbers, these deficiencies, are reported to us and to the system in order for us to be able to improve safety and to fix the problems.
