Transport Canada has several inspectors who haven't touched an airplane in more than 5 years. Their own rules for delegation of authority state that their pilot inspectors must be current and qualified to act as inspectors. This regulatory change pencil-whips their own regulatory violation, that's why they've done it. It also saves them a lot of money, but in doing so, this allows other pilots who rarely fly to keep current without actually flying an airplane. Unless you are a pilot you can't begin to understand how foolish that is.
