Airliner Safety Not What We Expect in Canada

The federal Auditor General has come out with a report that questions the safety of air travel in Canada. Transport Canada is only completing 30% of the mandated inspections of airline companies and when major issues are identified with the industry it can take Transport Canada 10 years to address them.

Unfortunately, this can lead to a lower level of safety when flying. The question is: will it take a major crash before they take action to resolve these issues?
