This bill allows Air Canada to focus on a race to the bottom and not on protecting jobs in the industry for future Canadians. This bill makes us wonder whether the government has given up on the aviation sector in Canada. We wonder if the government has given up on good jobs this sector can provide across the country. We wonder if corporate profits have become more important than good jobs to this government.
We urge this committee to send Bill C-10 back to the House with the following recommendations.
One, we recommend that the proposed new subsection 6(4) on maintenance activities be removed, and two, we ask that the jobs and this industry be maintained in Canada and that the government continue to invest in and support the MRO industry in Canada.
In conclusion, we ask that this committee put forward and support these recommendations.
