Mr. Speaker, the question raised by my hon. colleague is a very serious one. We have read carefully the report of the Transportation Safety Board and taken note of its two major recommendations. First, air carriers must be subjected to much more minute inspections. Second, when faults of any kind are found in the system, there has to be a follow-up to ensure that these faults or deficiencies have been corrected.
The board's report takes into account all incidents since 1984, the latest one dating back to December 1993. We take very seriously every one of the recommendations made by the board and intend to act on them.
