Thank you. I'll be splitting my time with Brad Vis. I'll be giving him two minutes right at the three-minute mark.
Thank you, Commissioner, for attending today and for all the great work you do.
I'd like to ask you about airfare in this country. Like many Canadians, when I'm travelling abroad in places like Europe or the United States and within those countries, I find it very striking how expensive it can be to fly within Canada. According to the International Air Transport Association, Canada ranks 101 out of 116 countries for the cost of air travel. We know from the study issued by the Competition Bureau on airline competition back in June of this year that government subsidies have not reduced the cost of airfare for Canadians.
I'm just curious to know what you would say is the cause of the increased price of airfare in Canada.
