Order. Thank you, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. This is meeting 51. Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, November 7, 2006, we are here to study Bill C-6, An Act to amend the Aeronautics Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts.
This is our last hour of witnesses. Joining us today are Mr. Paul Carson, flight technical inspector, certification and operational standards; and Mr. Hugh Danford, former civil aviation inspector.
I think you've been advised as to the drill here--seven minutes for introduction and then we'll have questions around the table.
If you're ready, Mr. Carson, I'll ask you to proceed.
