Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege for me to present this petition from many of my constituents, as well as other people in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. They point out in the petition that a high percentage of the lives lost in aircraft accidents are due to preventable post-impact fires. They point out to the government and to the Minister of Transport that the minister should be aware of current inexpensive technologies such as G switches and that he should require the use of these technologies by regulation and enforcement to reduce the cost of approvals and certificates for upgraders and manufacturers, and then allocate the necessary resources to this end to prevent the loss of life in otherwise survivable accidents.
In the House of Commons on September 28th, 2012. See this statement in context.
