I assure the witnesses that the committee will try to do as much as we can to move Mr. Gaffney's case forward. It is scandalous that there has not been some resolution over that period of time. People's lives are at risk when they go to sea. Health and safety must be a high priority.

Mr. Delaney touched on this. How did the Dutch and Germans keep passing that type of boat as safe, and keep giving it licences and so on, when they seemed to know something was significantly wrong? Will the witnesses give some explanation for it?
