Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for joining us today.
My questions will be about the safer skies strategy that the ministers talked about in the previous hour. I think that people of all political stripes can agree that preventing passenger airliners from being shot out of the sky is a good thing and a public policy worth pursuing. I was wondering if the witnesses could tell the committee whether they believe that flying internationally over conflict zones is safer today than it was a few years ago, and why or why not.
