In its financial statements as of March 31, Air Canada had $2.6 billion in prepaid customer revenues in its coffers. That is $2.6 billion that the thousands of people who have lost their jobs do not have, when they need to pay their bills at the end of the month.
If I understand the minister's answer correctly, he thinks it is okay for a company to rebuild its financial health on the backs of its customers and to benefit from government money that comes from taxpayers.
Is the minister serving the public or the big companies?
