Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to begin by acknowledging the one-year anniversary of the flight 302 disaster and express my condolences to the families and everyone who's been affected.
I'd also like to thank our witnesses for being here today.
My first question is for Mr. Primeau. It has to do with harmonization of the certification processes between our country and other countries. At a previous committee meeting, we had a chance to ask questions of Transport Canada officials about the validation improvement road map, one of the goals of which is to limit the technical study by validators in that process and to fully harmonize the validation and certification processes.
How would you describe the certification process between Canada and the U.S.? In light of the two crashes we've been discussing, are there questions about whether we should be moving towards common certification and the pursuit of harmonization?
