Mr. Chair, I want to take a moment to thank my colleague and parliamentary secretary for her hard work and welcome her to the committee and to Transport Canada. Her advocacy and insight have been incredibly helpful to Transport Canada.
Under the safer skies initiative, Canada established a domestic conflict zone information office. This office monitors foreign conflict zones 24-7 and creates efficient and timely sharing of information and intelligence both domestically and internationally. On a regular basis, this office monitors and assesses risks at areas of interest and shares information with air operators. Based on the assessment the office comes up with, we provide information. As I stated earlier, that information could take several forms. It could be information, it could be a recommendation, or it could be a flight ban.
