I'd like to thank you all for coming forward today.
These are, along with those of Justice Moshansky and the Canadian Federal Pilots Association, the best presentations we've heard on Bill C-6.
We've had two types of presentations. We've had ones about the much more profound operating concerns you've all raised today, and they're much more in depth. We've had some presentations that are very theoretical, as you mentioned, Mr. Balnis, ones that simply talk in theory about SMS. But every single in-depth presentation has criticized this government's reckless bent to diminish air safety, and it's a matter of concern to us. Thank you for being so detailed.
I would like to come back to the issue of inspectors and ask you this, Mr. Balnis, because we've had some playing fast and loose with figures around flight inspections within the Canadian airline industry. The government unfortunately made a kind of mistake this week in publishing a moving-forward document where they actually talk about an attrition rate of 32% to 50% over the next few years. I think they obviously have confirmed what everybody has been raising as a major concern, that we are lowering the number of inspectors and lowering the surveillance around safety. Do you have any comments about inspections, inspectors, and the attrition rate that is so clearly identified in this document this week?
