Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here.
I just wanted to follow up a little more on the CATSA transfer.
I'm not here to ask questions on behalf of the airlines, but we had some quite compelling testimony over the last couple of meetings.
I won't repeat everything my colleague mentioned in her initial question, but I think you have to admit, Minister, that while your comments—and I'm going to paraphrase them—were that this consultation has been going on for a long time, really all of the details of the passenger bill of rights were only passed through in this session. These details around the CATSA transfer only really came to light in the BIA. Of course, the airlines have had to deal with something that was not anyone's fault, which was the grounding of the MAX 8s.
I'd like to get a little more of an explanation of why it is so important to get this through as part of the budget implementation act, rather than ensure that it's negotiated fairly and that at the end of the day the consumer is not going to be impacted negatively by this measure.
