I don't agree with my colleague. I think the amendment makes a lot of sense. The airlines already use this indicator in their operations, and consumers should have this information as well. It is not necessarily a good thing to have this item in a report dealing with complaints against the airlines, but that is part of the mix. Consumers are interested in seeing the indicators.
And it is something that exists in the United States.
We're looking at a bill that essentially has revamped our national transportation policy. That certainly wasn't in part of the title of the bill; however, in our initial days of studying this legislation, we revamped in a very significant way the direction that our transportation strategy takes. So this is a very small component of the bill. It is related to airline complaints. It is something that is already gathered by airlines. I don't see it as enormous as some might pretend.
We are talking about an element of additional information that is provided in the report, and I think it's something that consumers would welcome. It allows them to make the comparison they need to make when they're choosing airlines, and that's something that is part and parcel of having that free flow of information that makes a difference when people choose a certain airline.
