When you say they have an obligation to undertake a consultation prior to submitting a plan with regard to noise abatement to Transport Canada, I can tell you that in Montreal, on the Island of Montreal, the so-called consultation involves a committee, for which it's very difficult to find out who are the members.
There are some elected municipal officials. I believe there's a member of Transport Canada, but I don't know the name. This committee meets in private. There are no notices that are given of the committee's meetings. We do not know how many times it meets a year. We don't know when it meets during the year. We don't know what's on the agenda. The decision that this committee.... There is no consultation that takes place with the citizens via this committee at all. There is no publication of whatever report and recommendations coming from the committee, which would then be sent to Transport Canada.
Basically, you're telling me that an airport authority has complete authority to do what it wishes, and there's no obligation for any real open, transparent, and accountable consultative process with the citizens.
