Transport committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I want to welcome our guests here this morning and, as well, echo your appreciation to Mr. Fuhr for bringing his motion forward. I believe it was unanimously supported, so we recognize the very important role that flight schools have in our

Transport committee   welcome all of you here today. This is our new meeting room in West Block and it's our first meeting here. We are joined today by, over and above the committee members, the mover of the motion, Mr. Fuhr. Welcome. Today we have as witnesses, from Aéro Loisirs, Caroline Farly, Chief
