Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, everyone. Thank you for your presentations.
I'm going to go across the board. I'll start with the Atlantic Canada Airports Association.
I've been on this committee since I was elected as a member of Parliament and had the privilege to serve, and I've always advocated that we do something on ground rents. I'll go back to a Senate report. I forget the names of the senators who put that together. They were looking at airports as ATMs versus investments. We're taking money out and it's going to [Inaudible—Editor]. This has been across the board. I can still remember.... I think it was Jean Lapierre who introduced a new, revised ground rent system, which reduced them. I think we can do more, and I agree that we need to look at it. I'm not going to ask a question on that because I am with you on that.
The second one is on CATSA and CATSA Plus. How important is it that we continue to put that in place across all airports in Canada? We have to call it what it is. The previous Conservative government did not invest and did not focus on our airports. It's like driving on Highway 400, where I live, or the 401, getting pulled over and then having the rest of the traffic wait until you get searched, stopped or ticketed, or whatever you want to call it. That's what happens at airports today, so we need CATSA Plus. How important is it to get CATSA Plus not only to the airports here in Atlantic Canada, but across the country?
