Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll speak with Mr. Ferguson, the IAMAW representative.
In your presentation, you spoke about the fact that aircraft, particularly Air Canada aircraft, were being serviced abroad or parked in the desert abroad.
I don't know whether you brought this up, but I've also heard complaints from workers. For example, they said that there was a desire to convert certain aircraft to cargo aircraft, but that the contracts weren't being awarded here in Canada. Others told me about the Canada emergency wage subsidy, which wasn't being used to retain employees.
I want to know whether you believe that these factors should be considered before assistance is provided to an airline such as Air Canada. At the end of the day, our goal is to get people working here.
