Well, it's not that different from the time it takes to get major project decisions, which in Canada is starting to be clocked in decades now instead of months and years. I think we have a major problem nationally in terms of attracting major investments and in recognizing that when private sector companies embark on a plan to make an investment and seek an approval, they actually have to tie up their balance sheet, sometimes with billions of dollars of committed money, not knowing when or whether they'll get approval to do it. It's an issue that does not call for less diligence; it just calls for a more efficient, more robust, and rigorous process to get from start to finish.
I want to make one further comment before I leave you. Canada has been gradually opening up air service agreements with other countries and other air carriers, but we're not doing it fast enough. A good example, and Dianne will relate to this, is Emirates. Emirates Airlines has wanted to increase their frequencies into Canada. We've rejected them, as a country, and there's bad blood now with the carriers and the country as a result of that decision. What has happened is that Emirates is now hubbing out of Seattle. You have Air Canada and WestJet flying people by the droves down to Seattle to get on an Emirates flight so they can gateway through Dubai.
It's total craziness, and it's happening elsewhere. We can shut the door to these increases in air services, but the travelling public will find a way, and these carriers will find a way to have the travelling public accommodated. In our air service agreements we need to become much more attuned to the needs of the Canadian economy and the Canadian consumer and a little less afraid of our dominant domestic carriers. They should be part of the puzzle, but they shouldn't be driving the train—or the plane.
