Thank you very much.
Now let's go to the subject of the air travellers security charge.
Mr. McKenna, those were very strong words and numbers at the back of your testimony. This is one illustration of why it's unfortunate that we have this omnibus bill and so little time. It would be better if you were at the transport committee, where the expertise resides, but there's nothing we can do about that today.
On my first question, those numbers you presented are quite dramatic: that the air travellers security charge revenue is $762 million, the House appropriation to CATSA is $428 million, and there's a surplus of $333 million. You say that most countries don't even charge the full amount to the customer, but here we have a huge surplus.
Have you spoken to the government or the Department of Transport about this? Would they accept those figures? Can we rely on those figures in regard to a surplus of $333 million or do they contain certain assumptions that others would dispute?
