You also talked about the potential unfairness of providing a bailout for one airline while leaving others trailing in the distance. You mentioned WestJet, Sunwing, Air Transat and Porter.
Recently the federal government also gave the provinces money to distribute to northern and indigenous service providers in the airline industry. My province of Manitoba received $12 million from the federal government to distribute to scheduled airline service providers that service the north and indigenous communities. The problem is that we have airline operators like Wings Over Kississing that service the exact same communities as the scheduled service carriers, often competing for the same businesses, but they got zero support.
In fact, in Manitoba, two airlines in particular, Calm Air and Perimeter, received $9 million of the $12 million, whereas Kississing, which is about a third of the size of Perimeter, received absolutely nothing.
I know you're as concerned for the employees and operators of small airlines as you are for passengers. Can you comment on that situation?
