First of all, Mr. Chair, it seems to me that the department came up with this compromise because it seems reasonable in the circumstances, given the Bloc's concern.
But at the same time, the department feels that it would be appropriate, and, quite frankly, the government feels it is appropriate, to have all the details in the same report and to do so on an annual basis.
If you notice the wording, it seems to be very consistent with the wording the Bloc has put forward. Indeed, I would suggest that if you read the three together, the Liberal amendment, the Bloc amendment...this one takes a position of compromise and more or less uses the taxpayers' money in an advantageous way, having a reporting function once a year.
In essence, it compromises with the Bloc and at the same time puts forward some of the issues that the department feels are not being addressed. Those include the substantial new cost that would be addressed if indeed we had all of the reporting features done separately. So it certainly takes taxpayers into consideration.
I would like to make the comment as well, Mr. Chair, that the performance indicators are not related to the air travel complaints. If you take that and look at what the Bloc has proposed and what the government has proposed, it seems like a reasonable compromise that actually, quite frankly, deals with all the issues raised by the Bloc and the Liberals.
