Brigitte Sansoucy at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

Of course, we could continue our discussion on aviation safety.

The latest statistics published by the Transportation Safety Board point to an increase in accidents in commercial air transportation. However, there is no additional funding in Budget 2018 for the aviation safety program. Since 2015, your department has even cut the aviation safety program's funding by 12%.

Earlier, you told me you felt that the track record has been positive, but it is difficult for me to understand how an inspection budget can be reduced when the accident rate is increasing.
