Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I want to correct something.
Mr. Julian referred to the union that represents the inspectors. In fact, they did testify before this committee that their primary purpose is to represent the interests of their members and not aviation safety. They were pretty clear about that.
I'd like to focus on another statement that was made at this table, and that is the suggestion that the SMS that is being proposed under Bill C-6 is intended to replace regulatory measures.
I don't understand the bill to suggest that. I haven't heard any Transport Canada members suggest that. Is that your understanding of what this bill intends to do, that SMS would simply replace an existing regulatory structure, or is it more typically an integration of SMS with the current regulatory structure?
