I was not a member in 1988, since I was elected in 1993, but I followed an eminently political issue at the time. When the Crown corporation Air Canada was privatized, they wanted to keep jobs in those three places. In addition, pursuant to the other paragraph, the idea was to maintain headquarters. The act refers to headquarters in the Montreal urban community. Ultimately, that was to ensure the critical mass of very well paid jobs for skilled employees.
In your view, the Government of Canada has no obligation or no power to ensure that Air Canada complies with those provisions. That means that Parliament has spoken for no purpose. The same is true of the headquarters. If Air Canada decides that its headquarters is transferred to Flin Flon, you're telling me that the Government of Canada, by virtue of the obligation imposed by one of the acts democratically passed by Parliament, has no power. That makes absolutely no sense. I find it hard to follow you.
