I think it's a simple answer. It's called COVID-19. When COVID-19 arrived, it didn't come with an instruction manual. It caused all kinds of havoc in many industries. Certainly the airline sector has been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and the travel restrictions that are being imposed, not just by Canada but by the rest of the world. Passengers have been impacted. Workers have been impacted. Companies have been impacted. I recognize all of that and we're doing our best to support Canadians and to support Canadian jobs.
