Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As Mr. Jean mentioned, there has been study after study after study. It's not only issues to do with Quebec. I can tell you that where I come from, in British Columbia, the people of Surrey, Delta, and Richmond are facing the same issues of quality of life.
Mr. Guimond said that the committee should travel, go out, and reach out to those people so that we can have public input into the studies Mr. Jean is mentioning, as we have in previous years.
I had the opportunity, as I mentioned earlier, to take Madam Marlene Jennings into my riding of Newton—North Delta, and she met with the stakeholders. She met with the councillors and mayors and different authorities, and we came up with this: there is no opportunity for public input. And the roles of Nav Canada, Transport Canada, and local airport authorities are all blurred. There's no clear delineation of responsibilities among different departments.
That's why this is a very important study, because it affects health. And it's not only the flights during the day. In fact there are the cargo flights at night where we live, in the part of Canada I come from, the Lower Mainland in British Columbia. That's a key issue.
Thank you.
