I'm trying to understand what it is that they understand works.
I read through your briefs, Madam Collins and Captain Slunder, and I listened to what you were saying, Mr. DaCosta. It seems to me all of you have, to quote a phrase generated by Transport Canada, “common concerns”, and those common concerns are that, one, people are not recognizing there is a conflict of interest between those who are looking for the business model and those who have to make a decision on the public's safety. They should be one and the same. I can't imagine that a company providing a service to people 20,000 or 30,000 feet above ground is not concerned about safety. There's only one way down if there's an error. Second, you're concerned that there are no longer the kinds of spot checks you'd anticipated earlier on. Third, you're concerned that the regulator should be the inspector--otherwise what's the purpose of making regulations--but that the regulations are actually enforced by a party that is making the regulations necessary.
What is it about this that tells you Transport Canada believes it's doing the right thing?
