Thank you.
On September 22, Nav Canada announced that it would carry out studies to assess the service levels required in many towers in Quebec, including those in Saint-Jean, Sept-Îles, Kuujjuarapik, Blanc-Sablon and Natashquan. Moreover, Nav Canada has been threatening to shut down the Rouyn-Noranda tower for years.
What we are hearing on our end is that Nav Canada does not intend to assess the level of service required, but to close the towers. Even with the studies not yet completed, it seems that the operators of all the towers currently under review have received layoff notices. However, you need ministerial authorization to do that.
Why are you breaking your own rules by making major decisions that could compromise safety and damn Quebec's regions before ministerial authorization has even been granted?
