Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Ms. Giguère, you answered one of Mr. Arseneault's questions earlier and I really appreciated your honesty with respect to administrative monetary penalties.
Suppose that there are monetary penalties associated with the complaints, that each complaint gives rise to a penalty of $100 and that there are an average of 100 complaints a year. It would cost the company $10,000.
As you said earlier, Air Canada is a private company. So it must make profits to be able to reinvest in the business, maintain its competitive edge, and so on. Actually, the Air Canada folks could decide to pay the $10,000 in question and stop hiring bilingual people. They would inevitably weigh both possibilities to compare the financial implications.
Once again, I appreciate your honesty in mentioning this possibility. It is important to understand this. It is in fact a private company.
Earlier, you talked about witnesses that the committee could hear.
Who are those witnesses and where are they from?
