Transport committee  Certainly, Mr. Chair, we'll make that available in writing. I can answer a few of the questions posed. For others, I think the answers should probably come from CATSA itself.

Gerard McDonald

Transport committee  Just to clarify, for those 17 that we talked about, I don't believe I indicated that they were accelerator problems but rather acceleration problems. That was the nature of the complaint we received. As Trevor indicated, it could be any different type of acceleration that was rel

March 11th, 2010Committee meeting

Gerard McDonald

Transport committee  No, I don't think it's a matter of not having the proper staff. We're quite confident in our staff and their ability to investigate whatever complaints come before them.
