For a first offence, it might perhaps be acceptable. However, if Air Canada re-offends, the answer is no. The amount of the fine would have to increase significantly, as I was saying earlier. This should not simply be a business tax. It should be a real deterrent. I always like giving as examples speeding fines, and the loss of a driver's licence. The greater the speed, the higher the fine. On Highway 417, between Montreal and Ottawa, there is a big sign indicating that, if someone is caught driving at such and such a speed, the penalty can go right up to a licence suspension, perhaps in addition to a $1,000 fine, I am not sure. When you see that, you tell yourself that it is worth easing off the gas. That is the kind of position that has to be taken with airlines, just like with anyone else. If you go too far, you are going to be paying quite a significant fine.
