I have another question. You said that there were no minors on the list, Mr. McDonald. And yet, children have not been allowed to board the plane. I should not say: “not been allowed to board the plane”. I will reformulate my sentence. The children are stopped and subject to an inspection because the name of these children have matched someone on the list.
I will give you an example. Mr. Alistair Butt, 10 years old, in Saskatoon, was going to take the plane from Ottawa with his father, mother and brother. These people were made to wait. An incident occurred a good week later. There is another Alistair Butt. I am talking therefore about false positives. This individual is a 15-year-old, living in the Ottawa region, and his name is on the no-fly list. He showed up at the Air Canada counter and wanted to take a plane between Montreal and St. John's. Another incident occurred.
These were children. You stated that the age is recorded. The name and the birth date. So I do not understand why these airlines are preventing children, with false positives, from boarding the planes.
