It is clear, Mr. Speaker, with that minister, it is safety last.
We learned last week that more than 80,000 Canadians have been put at risk over the last five years due to near misses. Fatal aircraft accidents have increased almost 50% in Canada. What is the response from the minister? More secrecy, less responsibility and fewer flight attendants to evacuate passengers in an emergency. It is unbelievable.
Canadians want to see better flight standards, not this foolish attempt to push lower American standards.
Will the minister commit today to reject this irresponsible plan to reduce flight attendants and the margin of safety on Canadian flights?
