Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses for being here today.
Mr. Barone, I think your comments on the process that was followed--which ends up with you in front of us here today--are wrong. Quite clearly, we are concerned with aviation safety; that's the driving force. You know, I've raised these issues for the past two years out of that concern, which has come out of forums we've conducted on aviation safety, and I'm sure you would have had the opportunity to attend those forums if you had wanted to.
The government has changed its tune. Last year the Minister of State for Transport, through a question in the House, asked me to apologize for talking about aviation safety and bringing up questions on aviation safety. We've since seen the government change its tune on that. The evidence is pretty clear.
Do you accept the findings and conclusions of the two Transportation Safety Board crash investigations at Fox Harbour and Wainwright? Do you agree with those conclusions?
