Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good afternoon, Mr. Fisher.
Mr. Lapierre told us that the Standing Committee on Finance might be the best venue. I would point out that representatives of your industry appeared before the Standing Committee on Finance on November 30, 1999, November 1, 2001, and November 7, 2002. So you have already appeared before the same committee three times.
I was also under the impression that in 2000 the capital cost allowance, the CCA, was increased from 10% to 15%. If I understand correctly, you would like a 30% CCA to have the same advantages as other carriers, like planes, trains, and others that do the same kind of transportation, and benefit from a depreciation spread over five years.
So you want the same 30% depreciation. That would give you the same incentive that would enable you to operate. Is that correct?
