Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Pardon me for my tardiness, but I had duties in the House. I feel a little bit at a disadvantage, so I'm just going to limit myself to a question or two and apologize to Judge Moshansky.
Part of the disadvantage comes from the fact that we had asked last week for some of the actual dollars and cents that had been allegedly removed from the funds allocated to the inspectorate, which you referred to in your written presentation. The other part is the fact that I wasn't able to share the back-and-forth questioning, so I'm going to ask you this.
Last week, we had Captain Greg Holbrook here, and he essentially took the position—and I hope I'm not misrepresenting it—that if Transport Canada was going to essentially diminish the role of the inspectorate or eliminate it altogether, this bill shouldn't go through. There were those at the table who suggested at the time that his role before the committee was one in which he was supposed to protect the interests, and therefore the jobs, of his own membership and to expand that membership, but that he had really no other thing to contribute. I've heard that from other people who have lobbied me and I guess other members of the committee. Do you share that view?
