Minister, you mentioned a keen awareness of changing trade and travel patterns, not only in Canada but internationally as well. A key sector of the Canadian economy is the tourism sector, which generates over $70 billion annually. International landings contribute over $15 billion annually to the Canadian GDP, the Canadian economy. Yet Canada's position is deteriorating rapidly, and we're moving from number eight in terms of international landings in 2002 to approximately number 15 now. We're losing five million passengers.
One of the reasons why we're losing that economic activity is in part because of high costs, such as the high costs of travel to Canada and the lack of competition among Canadian airways. But things like airport rents and high security fees are other things that are contributing to the high cost of becoming a traveller to Canada. What specific plans do you have to eliminate or at least significantly reduce those costs so we can at least regain our position in the top 10 destinations for international travellers?
