Again, this is why I wanted to appear before the committee today, after receiving your invitation, to give you an idea of what are some of the issues and the context within which we at Transport Canada are considering the recommendations of Mr. Fraser and anticipating the advice of this committee.
I wanted to give you a flavour of an air sector that's very vibrant right now, but it's not too long ago that it wasn't. I can give you a list of all the Canadian air carriers that no longer exist. We're talking about CanJet, Canada 3000.... These are all Canadian air carriers that, because of the challenge of Canada's air sector, no longer exist.
I wanted to give you a context and a flavour of the work we're doing interdepartmentally to take a look at this issue, but in the end, the decision that you're asking for, or the information that you're looking for today, would be a decision made by the government, not by me.
