Transport committee  We can look into providing that information.

Transport committee  I think what we'll do with that question.... It would be important to understand the process that's undertaken with regard to concern papers, which are actually very common practice and are used for validating authorities to identify areas that they seek further information on fr

Transport committee  I apologize. Was the volume okay with the English?

Transport committee  I will start again in English.

Transport committee  When a product's not constructed in Canada, the role of Transport Canada is to validate the certification decisions taken by the state in which it was constructed. This allows us to ensure that the product has conformed with the regulations and our expectations within Canada. Wh

Transport committee  I'll start, Mr. Chair.

Transport committee  Mr. Chair, I'll be making the opening remarks, and then we'll turn it over to questions.

Transport committee  Good day, Mr. Chair, Vice-Chairs and committee members. My name is Nicholas Robinson, and I am the director general of civil aviation at Transport Canada, responsible for aviation safety.

I mentioned that there were more than 150,000 person hours provided to the certification of that aircraft. Now, we look at all the aircraft in the aviation syst

Transport committee  No. I can assure this committee, and we've assured Canadians previously, that we will not validate this aircraft until our safety concerns, which we addressed back in April with the FAA and continue to pursue and get answers on, are addressed. Until our concerns are addressed, we

Transport committee  Also, though, to your point, that goes back to—and I know we continue to come back to this—the operational evaluation board. When we had those aircrews, those regular line pilots who were in there and they were evaluating, they had received their computer-based training. They too

Transport committee  Mr. Chair, I appreciate that point. That's one of the pieces for why we have, on a bit of an exceptional basis in this case, involved Canadian operators and the associations of the flight crews in Canada more in this process. If we are—and there is an “if” here—to come into a ret

Transport committee  It wouldn't, but the other two fly different ones.
