Mr. Chair, I fully disagree with my colleague's preamble to her question. Last Thursday, I called the company representative twice. I invited him, myself, on Thursday evening to come and meet me in Ottawa. He said that he should force his way through my door to come and meet with me.
In my riding, Mr. Chair, 3,000 people lost their job during the forestry crisis. I know what it means when people lose their job, and I sympathize greatly with the people who lost their job in the Aveos affair and who are currently without a job. It was a decision by the company, a business decision.
My colleague has to understand, as do I, that Air Canada is a private company that does business with various companies, including Aveos, and that the agreement with Aveos is between Air Canada and Aveos. It isn't the government that manages these companies, Mr. Chair, neither Aveos, nor Air Canada, but the managers of the companies.
