As I am sure you know, the previous government privatized NAV CANADA. It is not a government agency, but a private corporation responsible for its own operations. I must, however, point out that the Government of Canada has allocated $25 million to NAV CANADA in light of the Vancouver Olympic Games and the numerous security issues surrounding the event.
Sometimes, these proposals give rise to concerns, as in northern New Brunswick and in Quebec. I am always willing to work with communities and their respective members, and to listen to their concerns, even when that member is a Liberal, as in the case of New Brunswick. I am also willing to talk about policies with NAV CANADA's people. Of course, sometimes, with a private corporation, economic concerns have to be balanced with the public interest. It is my job to work with communities and my colleagues, no matter what their political stripe, on issues that concern them.
I am always willing to work with people and communities. I did so in northern New Brunswick. There will still be concerns, whether economic or safety-related, as with the air ambulances, where the public interest is at stake. But it is not just NAV CANADA's responsibility. Sometimes, it is the government's responsibility when the public interest is concerned. Ultimately, we are responsible for addressing all of these concerns.
