Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to welcome our witnesses.
I have a special welcome for Ms. Elizabeth May, my dear friend.
Welcome, Elizabeth.
Before I begin, I want to talk about something. Yesterday, I watched an interview with Mr. Mueller that really impressed me. I was pleased to learn that Canada's aerospace industry ranks fifth in the world. Canada also leads the world in terms of quality of life, in part because of its economic stability. We're also pioneers in preferential market access. All these factors combined provide hope that efforts will be made to change, improve and promote our great industry.
My first question is for you, Mr. Mueller. Do you think that financial assistance for airlines should depend on the airlines' compliance with their contracts with your members?
