Dennis Bevington at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to you, Minister, for coming in today.

I'm interested in talking about aviation safety, of course. You made an announcement yesterday that you're taking back the responsibility that was assigned to the association that represents the business jet industry. You've also delayed implementation of air taxi and helicopter SMS.

I worked very hard to get some witnesses in front of this committee to talk about the larger issue of aviation safety vis-à-vis major carriers. Since we've seen that in a number of areas the system is not working as well as you thought it would, and as well as this government and the Department of Transport thought it would, are you now considering actually doing a review of aviation safety vis-à-vis SMS for large carriers?
