Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it.
Just today we had one of the carriers announce that they're pulling out of a couple of small markets. Perhaps that's part of their negotiating strategy right now—I'm not sure. If I were a member of the committee, if I were the government, I would want to make sure that the service is restored, that there are guarantees for minimal service across this country. The aviation sector binds us. We have somebody from Air North who has said repeatedly and quite truthfully that people need to travel in the north. People need to travel from communities across this country. Some travel is a nice to have, but some of it is a must-have. We do need to make sure that those services are there.
I would note that the carriers have taken slightly different positions on this. We have heard that WestJet is refunding passengers for flights that it cancelled, not flights that passengers cancelled out of from an abundance of caution in the spring. I cancelled two of my tickets for flights in early to mid-March because I thought there was no way I was going anywhere in April or May. Those were business flights. I'm not out of pocket myself, so I'm not complaining about my own finances, but I'm observing that an awful lot of people would have done that. That's why I think that, overall, it's important that we don't differentiate between the people who cancelled flights themselves during the height of the pandemic and those whose flights were cancelled by the carriers.
