I was in Victoria on Tuesday with a delegation of 57 of our members. We met with both the official opposition and the B.C. Liberal government. The message we got is that this is an important issue for British Columbia and for Canada, and that this has to be done in a non-partisan way. We weren't interested in going to Victoria to get into politics with the Liberals, the NDP, or the Conservatives. This is something all the parties have to rise above. We were simply looking to put the stakeholders together and work towards a solution.
We asked for the support of the government. We felt it was especially significant in British Columbia, because Vancouver is not mentioned specifically in the Air Canada Public Participation Act. When Air Canada was privatized, Vancouver was the main base for Canadian Airlines.
