Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for being here. I really appreciate it.
Mr. Sibbeston, I really appreciated your two practical suggestions for improvement. It's exactly the kind of thing we're looking to hear more about.
Can I go back and explore a couple of comments made by both of you, just to get more clarity?
In your brief, Mr. Sibbeston, you talked about costs, the costs of shipping, the comparative costs of shipping, which were very helpful for us to understand. In this week's Hill Times there's another ad by a company out of Montreal, Discovery Air Innovations, who are now talking about remote shipping. They're claiming they're using 67% less fuel than traditional heavy-lift aircraft, without disturbing fragile permafrost, watersheds, or wildlife.
Can you give us an understanding, and Canadians an understanding, of how advanced this new industry, this new technology, is, and how feasible it is?
