Thank you for the question. I'm cognizant of the time available, so I will try to be brief.
The impact has been unprecedented. I know that's an adjective that has been used a heck of a lot over the past several weeks, but it has been unprecedented when you see the capacity that has been brought down and you see the service that has been cut. I know there are a number of communities that have lost a great deal of their service. The points you're making are absolutely correct in terms of aviation being essential and a lifeblood of the community, particularly in the north.
The carriers you mentioned are not my members, so I'm obviously going to be very careful not to appear to speak on their behalf. However, whether it's large operators or small operators, the overall approach that the industry is taking is to try to make very clear to the government the unprecedented nature of what has happened, the incredible capital-intensive business that we are in and the challenges we are going to face to try to actually get back up to service. I think we need to continue to do that.
Further to some of the earlier questions I had in this committee, our expectation and hope is that the package and the approach that the government announces is going to address the needs of all carriers, regardless of size, and there will be a means by which, in terms of the specific challenges that any operator will face, it's able to actually get stabilized and continue to play the role it has to play, whether it's a northern carrier or a carrier outside my group, my association or others.
We simply have to continue to do that, and then once we actually get stabilized, there's going to be a heck of a lot of activity required to restart the sector. With so many aircraft parked on the ground and 90% of the fleet actually shut down, an awful lot of activity is going to have to occur amongst air carriers of all sizes, with government, government agencies and our airport partners.
