Our position on both cabotage and right of establishment is that until you fix the cost-competitiveness gap in Canada, you won't realize the benefits of those policies, even if you are an advocate for them. It truly is the most important thing to be fixed. We have ultra low-cost carriers servicing Canadians from border airports. The only reason they're doing that is because of the cost differential. Unless you fix the cost-structure issue and gap in Canada, we don't believe those policies would accrue the benefits that the proponents of them believe they would.
There's also the principle of reciprocity. If proponents of those policies would like foreign carriers to be able to do certain things in Canada, we should be provided the opportunity to do those things in the other country. So the principle of reciprocity is very critical and very important in aviation, as well as, as I've said, cost competitiveness, which is the focus of our submission to the Emerson report.
In Mr. Emerson's discussion paper, he did flag cost competitiveness as an issue, so that's something we're willing to follow up on with the committee. I know others have been tabling their submissions, but we're happy to provide a supplementary opinion on that.
That would be the the 30-second answer on cabotage.
