Thank you, Madam Chair. You scared me initially. I apologize for all the things that were flying around here.
Ms. Wiebe, I'm not here to defend Canada's airlines, but they certainly raised a number of issues last week that Mr. McKenna has added to today. I know you tried to start to refute some of those.
However, I must say that with Transport Canada's track record recently with some of its actions, you have things like the passenger bill of rights, the imposition of a carbon tax—whether that's your doing or not—and the grounding of the MAX 8s, how can the airlines, quite frankly, trust Transport Canada to do this right in such a short period of time? What's the big rush to be herding it through the budget bill rather than an appropriate way where there could be discussion on an appropriate basis?
At the end of the day, it's middle class Canadians that this government always seems to hold up as the one group they're trying to make life better for, yet all this is going to do is add extra costs to middle-class Canadians.
How can airlines and Canadians trust Transport Canada at this stage with the track record you have?
