Madam Chair, let me again say that throughout the period of the budget shortfalls, the priority was put on aviation safety and the rest of our safety oversight programs. We did not compromise those through that period.
In terms of the actual provision of flying hours for our pilot inspectors, we have contractual obligations allowing them to maintain their licences and an MOU with regard to how we implement that. We have maintained the consistency of those requirements. The amount of flying has certainly been reduced considerably as we've moved towards a more modern system, in which a number of our pilot inspectors now use only a simulator. Many more of them are not flying. Many are still flying, but we are definitely reducing that program. It is within the contractual requirements, and we believe it does not have any effect on aviation safety.
We have continued to focus on updating our requirements with regard to what an inspector needs to perform their duties, what specific training they require, whether it be specialty training or flying in a King Air. As we've updated those requirements, we've formalized them; we've published them; we ensure that they are maintained, and we are even tracking those much more carefully.
We believe we are fully meeting our safety requirements in that area.
