Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport. Price Waterhouse and the director general of civil aviation have both identified a shortage of aviation inspectors as a serious threat to aviation safety in the future. The director general of civil aviation predicts a negative impact on long term aviation safety. Price Waterhouse confirms transport does indeed face a long term problem. This is not part of union negotiations or anything. These are two very credible independent sources. Both are critical of the number of inspectors available.
What steps is the minister putting in place to correct this potential safety situation?
