Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being here today. I would also like to thank them for their presentations.
To begin, I have a general comment for the witnesses.
In April 2014, a survey of aviation inspectors about safety management systems, indicated that 85% of inspectors believed that air travellers had been exposed to a higher risk because of SMSs. It was an increase compared to the 2007 survey, which indicated that 67% of inspectors predicted that safety was lower.
You are saying that the SMS is a good system for the industry. However, what is your reaction to what the inspectors themselves think of safety? My question is for any of you.
