Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Regarding the same proposed subsection, to replace section 64 of the Canada Transportation Act, essentially it is now worded as follows:
This section does not apply to a licensee that operates a domestic service that is seasonal in nature for eight months or less in a 12-month period.
It would strengthen the language to restrict this exception to only smaller communities. A community of more than 10,000 people, even with the seasonal service, would see the obligation for the consultation.
