Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
We are members of Parliament but we are also people who regularly receive comments from the public. When I read everything that has been in the papers, I must admit that I do not feel reassured given the events that took place at the Montreal Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau international airport.
Mr. Duchesneau said that he assures responsibility and six very specific mandates. On the other hand, in the latest newspaper clippings I received, it says that Transport Canada conducted an investigation and that department officials do not want to issue recommendations nor disclose the shortcomings that were discovered. Mr. Cherry, for his part, is responsible for airport administration.
We've been talking about one event, but there could be more over the next few days or weeks. Who is ultimately responsible? Is it Transport Canada, that is not adequately monitoring what is happening at the airport, or is it the airport administrations or CATSA that have shortcomings?
