I have a presentation that the director general of civil aviation, Mr. Merlin Preuss, gave at the Canadian aviation safety seminar in April 2006. He's talking about organizational review, and he says:
By 2013, 46% of the current Civil Aviation workforce will be eligible for retirement or have already retired. Replacing these employees, let alone adding to the current workforce, to continue the current oversight regime given the current and predicted workforce demographics, is not feasible; therefore, major changes need to be made in the way we work—
There's a recognition that due to the demographics within the department, particularly within this section, they are going to be losing a significant number of inspectors, and they do not plan on replacing these inspectors, with the skills that these inspectors currently have.
