Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the honourable member for bringing this motion forward. I've also had a chance to look at the competiveness report that TIAC distributed on Monday. The thrust of this report is in two key areas. One is the marketing side, and the other is a very critical component of the airport access issue that will come out of TIAC's presentation here.
I wonder if we might consider extending this panel to an hour and a half. On Thursday, we could take the first hour and a half for our regular business. Then if we took the committee through until 2 p.m., we could get an hour and 30 minutes in and consider adding the representatives of the Canadian Tourism Commission and possibly a third witness. I'm not sure whether the third witness should be from the commercial air transport community or the airport authority community, but maybe the latter. They could speak specifically to this issue of airport access, which seems to be a crucial piece of the competitiveness report.
I'd suggest that in the form of a friendly amendment to the motion, if the sponsor will consider it.
