Mr. Speaker, the government's complacency when it comes to aviation safety is troubling.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada report released yesterday is very clear: the current approach to oversight is not enough to address unsafe practices and conditions. If Transport Canada does not adopt an approach that combines audits and inspections, the risk of accidents may increase.
The government has cut the transportation safety budget by more than 20%. When is it going to take Canadians' safety seriously?
