The measures I was referring to are the measures that my colleagues are developing. Our office is supportive of anything we can do to bring more efficiencies to these processes—for example, bringing down the contingency, removing choice to the passengers on the flight and looking at questions. Really, we're open to anything we can do, because we were extremely concerned when we saw these costs come out.
For example, as Mr. Wheeler spoke about earlier, the office of protocol often looks at what the program is and how it connects with the flight. Do we need to eat on the flight? Is there an option where people can eat before they leave or after they arrive, so that catering doesn't need to be there? Are there additional elements that are part of the standard practice that we really don't need and that we can eliminate to have better efficiencies when it comes to these visits?
Further, what are other ideas? Let's think outside the box. We know that these costs are increasing in the airline industry. Every Canadian is seeing that when they're booking flights. How can we follow suit? How can we also encourage creativity and these kinds of flags from our department colleagues? That's something we want them to do. We want to encourage that kind of rigour.
