Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
Mr. Wilson, you said something a few minutes ago that I wanted to correct. I think you said you've been operating under an exemption for the past while and that it provides an equivalent level of safety. In fact, two weeks ago representatives from Transport Canada said quite clearly that one in 50 is not an equivalent level of safety to one in 40, just for the record. I, as a passenger, don't know, when I'm on a plane, whether the door I'm next to is the one that's actually going to have a flight attendant assigned to it or not. If you were Ryanair, you'd be offering me a discount for sitting beside an unsafe seat, but you're not. The issue of whether or not it's equivalent is what's up for debate right now, and they said quite clearly that it's not an equivalent level of safety, according to Transport Canada levels.
Someone mentioned aircraft maintenance. Air Canada, and perhaps Air Transat, have moved to systems under which maintenance of the airframe and the engines is performed in another country. How are those individuals in those countries incorporated in your SMS? You said you represent 40,000 employees. I take it you don't consider those people to be part of your employee base.
