Absolutely it does. That's why everyone wants to have a healthy airline industry and a healthy maintenance industry as well. I think both are in good shape, and we should ensure that they stay that way.
When it comes to a collective bargaining agreement between a private sector company and a union, which is two years away, and there's a perfectly good and well-managed and working arrangement between a union and a company, I think we should let them run their business.
What I find a little unusual is that committee members would suggest, when there's a perfectly good agreement between a company and the labour union and it's going very well, that we should intervene and do something to screw that up. I just think that's unwise.
What we should be doing is asking what we can do to make sure the airline industry remains profitable and continues to grow in Canada. You do that by reducing taxes, by reducing red tape, and by lowering tariffs on manufactured imports, as we're doing, to help Air Canada remain competitive worldwide. The unions, of course, will benefit, because a profitable and sustainable industry means that the workers, in turn, get profitable and sustainable jobs.
