Mr. Chair, we're trying to be supportive of a bill that I believe we need to put in place greater security measures. There are some aspects of this bill...and I've outlined a number of amendments here by people in the industry. Having an appeal process that is a real appeal process would be nice.
The government continues to resist for reasons that, I say, are not that good.
It's difficult to be supportive of legislation when I think the government fails to recognize some pretty decent amendments that would not in any way jeopardize the thrust of the bill, but would give airlines and citizens more confidence in the bill and how it might apply to them.
I hope the government members consider that as we move forward.
