Mr. Speaker, Canadians who are trying to travel in the summer are not reassured by the government's position.
The competition commissioner called this new Air Canada an unregulated monopoly. The competition bureau recognizes that the only way to protect Canadians travellers in through real competition.
The government has the ability to make that happen. The cabinet can pass a regulation through an order in council upping the foreign ownership component to 49% and provide that competition. Is the government prepared to do that so Canadians are not held hostage?
