Originally we talked about legal opinions. Legal opinions are all over the map. I think some of the members on the committee had a valid point about making the law say what it was supposed to say, to beef it up.
This, to us, is simply about keeping Canadian expertise, Canadian jobs, and Canadian work in Canada. I don't want to get tied up in the ideology of what's a corporate name, or if there is a union representing the workers. There are 2,600 families who woke up this morning wondering how they're going to feed their kids and pay their mortgages. That is our prime concern and that's why we're here.
Time is of the essence. Workers need to be paid, facilities are sitting idle while things are being tied up in bankruptcy courts. We view this as a turnkey operation. So the sooner we can turn the lights back on and get people back to work, the better it is for everybody, including Air Canada.
