We've looked at that and I agree with what Mr. Taylor was saying. You look at security and the air transport security charge in Canada, where 100% of aviation security is funded by that charge. In the United States, only one-third of it is funded by a charge to passengers and airlines, and two-thirds is borne by government. They recognize it's a national security issue; it's not just an aviation security issue.
But I think 30% is the gap that we have between Canada and the U.S. Even if we could cut that in half, it would make a huge difference. We've made similar submissions to the CTA review to deal with government fees and taxes.
One simple thing that would help a lot would be if the funds that are collected from aviation were reinvested in aviation. This is what happens in the United States. They have an air transportation tax, for example, but it goes to fund an airport development fund. Airports requiring infrastructure can apply for capital under that fund. That allows them to keep their fees and charges lower, which is one of the reasons that a lot of the airports in the U.S. have lower costs than Canadian airports. Our airports pay rent to the federal government, but we don't get anything in return for that. In the U.S., they don't pay any rent and they have access to capital. It's quite a different model.
