Mr. Chairman, one of the concerns I have comes when I hear the word “deregulation”. Deregulation of our industry came primarily in terms of exit and entry, in terms of the economic regulation of the airline industry, if you will. That happened in 1986. However, to say that safety has been deregulated is very misleading. If anything, this is yet another enhancement of the regulatory framework affecting aviation safety in this country.
We have not seen any changes in terms of oversight or responsibility from Transport Canada. It is a continuous relationship, and as I stated earlier, Mr. Chairman, as the Canadian aviation industry, we are very proud of our record here in Canada.
