Then, Mr. Chair, I think it's important to know that, if an affiliate operates an undertaking that comes under the authority of the Parliament of Canada in respect of air services, that business will automatically be subject to the act.
What I said in my previous testimony is that the question whether or not a business comes under the authority of the Parliament of Canada is a question of fact and a question of law. I gave you my perception based on the facts we currently have.
In the case of Aeroplan, if I understand correctly, that's a limited partnership that belongs in part to Air Canada, but also to other interests. The business operates a customer loyalty program under which users accumulate points that relate not only to the airline, but also to other kinds of businesses or enterprises.
