Transport committee  Certainly from our perspective, when we look at this one-size-fits-all, with our flights we see that we could have some long flights, but we have a tremendous number of rest periods between our flights. Our pilots, for example, within business aviation, would operate anywhere bet

Transport committee  We're just saying that we have the ability to turn around and have the rest periods available to us, and the cumulative effects of long-haul flights are not relevant within our group.

Transport committee  Probably a good example of that one, the Kelowna accident has been, and it's unfortunate of course, the loss and death. That is 10 years straight with no accidents and no fatalities within our industry until the one that has just occurred. There is going to be an impossibility

Transport committee  Basically, my career, actually, was with FlightSafety International and CAE and I'm very familiar with the simulator training world.

Transport committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair and committee members. I am honoured to have the opportunity to address the subject of aviation safety. I represent over 400 members with the CBAA, and 200 operators in a $10.7-billion industry. Business aviation is the use of aircraft to meet a
