Thank you.
Our industry is currently suffering from delays of a kind never seen before in connection with services from Transport Canada or other government organizations. The delays are staggering, whether for issuing access cards to restricted areas, certifying pilot qualifications, administering professional exams and periodic tests required for pilots, aircraft certification, and so on. The government has never provided any explanations for these delays, and it's a situation that is holding back our recovery.
Even though companies have been announcing equipment purchases, none of it can be used until it's been approved, and included in the company's operating certificate.
