Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Mr. Rousseau.
Yesterday, Canada's Minister of Transport jumped to his feet and said, “I know, I know; we'll have a summit.” That has worked so well, of course, with auto thefts—which, as we heard from the police chief in Toronto today, are actually up again.
According to his own words, the minister conferred with a cabinet colleague and they said that there must be action now. They set a date of May 9—two months from now—for this action, which one can imagine will result in a report with a fancy cover and logo, perhaps on September 9, followed by the implementation of some recommendations, perhaps by March 9 of next year.
What would you see as the point of a summit? You've already talked about some of the actions you've taken; we've heard from WestJet about some of the actions they've taken. We can sit here and question whether that's enough, whether that's fast enough, whether you care enough or whether you are taking it seriously enough. However, what is the point of a summit two months from now to take immediate action, other than a photo op to make it look like the Liberals are doing something about a problem they should have dealt with years ago and are pretending to care about?
What are your comments about that? What is the value, other than a photo-op?
