I'd like to come to the issue around airline audits. Testimony received last week mentioned three decisions that Transport Canada has taken.
One was taken during the federal election back in December 2005, whereby Transport Canada issued Civil Aviation Directive No. 39, which handed over enforcement and investigation to the airlines themselves.
In March 2006 Transport Canada killed the national audit program, which covers the largest airlines and largest airports.
In October 2006—this is from testimony last week—Transport Canada managers abruptly closed all enforcement investigations into safety violations.
So on the issue you have raised about airline audits and in-flight monitoring, it appears that Transport Canada is backing out from all those important elements that contribute to our airline safety.
