Mr. Speaker, this government has taken a great deal of interest in the
case of Canadian Airlines, because many of the company's employees and clients have been deeply affected by the events of the last few weeks.
I would point out to the member that 1,273 employees of Canadian Airlines International live in Quebec. I think it important for everyone that a bit of interest be shown in finding solutions to these problems.
It was therefore necessary for airline management, creditors, governments and employees to draw up together a plan that could work. This step has almost been completed. Since the Prime Minister's departure, all groups have tried to work together, except for one union. Now all the interested parties have come together with a common plan.
