Thank you to my colleague for his kind remarks.
I'm assuming he's talking about the acquisition of Air Transat. Recently, our government made a decision to allow for the acquisition by Air Canada of Air Transat. This was complicated. We had to examine all factors on the table. I can certainly say that the current situation within the airline sector due to COVID played a big part in our decision.
We wanted to protect jobs. Jobs were at risk. Consumer choices were at risk. The headquarters of Air Transat in Quebec was at risk. The maintenance of the fleet of Air Transat in Quebec was at risk. We wanted to make sure that we protected all of that. There was a lot of public interest at stake here. We introduced many strict conditions on this merger to make sure that we protected Canadians' interests.
