I thank the four of you for being here today and telling us about two extremely important subjects for our committee. I am going to focus on CATSA.

For a year, I have been hearing a lot about the deficiencies of the subcontractors of Air Canada and CATSA in terms of services in both official languages—and Mr. Choquette spoke about it also. This is troubling to me.

Are the guidelines rigorous enough to ensure that the suppliers chosen have the same obligations concerning services in both official languages? Is there a deficiency in this regard?
