To start off there, we have had no response from former minister Garneau. We've reached out on numerous occasions to speak on these issues and as of yet have had no response.
The IAMAW position is that the regional airports and the regional routes being reinstated must be part of any plan that comes to fruition. This may even mean some of these smaller routes, etc. It may be a point that the government might have to think about having some sort of stake in it, undertaking some sort of nationalization of these routes, because these smaller communities—not just the members, but the communities themselves—with the isolation, etc. and the strap for goods and services, must be part of any plan.
