I agree with your characterization of what I heard. The example I would raise is that Mr. Jean has indicated he's a long-time participant in these committees, and this committee has debated the ratio of flight attendants on board. There is a prevailing international standard of one flight attendant for 50 seats, and in Canada it is one flight attendant for 40 seats since 1971. For 39 years Canada has been different, and this committee has considered that issue. In fact, the Conservatives walked out of the committee after an appearance.
So in some cases Canada does have different standards from those in the rest of the world. I think your characterization of Mr. Jean's intervention is absolutely correct, and I agree with your characterization of it.
