Certainly we checked your websites, all the four carriers, and there was a considerable difference in the way you treat disclosure of the information. I think only Air Transat really nailed it and told people exactly what was going on. In fact the other sites are much more difficult. They take a detailed reading to understand what's going on with their information. I think that's something that might be pointed out, because it's not a uniform treatment in the aviation industry towards this information disclosure. It may be that there should be some legislation that really outlines how any of that information is.... It may need more clarification.
Now for the Tourism Industry Association, I have your business plan for 2009. On page 20 you say:
Security considerations post 9-11 have triumphed over the free movement of people with the result that many people in both Canada and the United States have cut back on their discretionary travel. The border is now widely seen as cumbersome, bureaucratic and expensive to traverse.
And we've seen that the number of visitations from the United States to Canada has dropped by half. Do you really think that by continuing to push the security button here, we're going to do anything for tourism in the future in this country? Or do we need to start to open up a different dialogue with our American friends in order to get this border straightened out?
