Thank you.
We are calling on this committee to ask the government to provide Nav Canada with whatever financial support is needed in the form of a grant to help them weather this temporary downturn so they no longer need to consider reducing core services for not only control towers and area control centres, but also the other necessary highly skilled unionized professionals who support the air navigation system that serves so many communities across Canada and connects Canada to the world.
Losing the air traffic control services in these key regions would be devastating. We've lost faith in the current process and ask that this committee and the Minister of Transport work collaboratively with us to reset a very unfortunate situation and reassure the travelling public that their safety will not be compromised.
Thank you. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
