Thank you.

Mr. Chair, I'll go over to Mr. Gibbons, too, because it's been interesting.... It was just mentioned...about the restart plan.

This is something that I'm very curious about. We're in a terrible position right now, Mr. Gibbons. We have to get people back to work at some point in time—safely, obviously. You mentioned.... There are a couple of things that I want to mention to you. You mentioned 14,000 employees at WestJet; many have left. Where have they gone? Have they gone on to other companies? Did you mean they were the layoffs from your company? Have they left to pursue other work and now you won't be able to get people back when the start-up eventually comes?
