That would reduce the demand a little, but if there is no passport office in a given region, there is an effect on the staff and the budget. I am specifically thinking of the MP in Sherbrooke who does 10,000 of them per year.
I would also like to bring up the subject of air safety at Transport Canada. In paragraph 19 of your presentation today, you say that 74 airline companies and aircraft maintenance companies were affected. You forecast that more than 2,000 small companies will also be affected.
That is a lot, I find; the impact to be huge. How did Transport Canada respond to you? Had it foreseen the effect? What will the consequences be?
