Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Cadieux, I only have three minutes, so I will dive right in.
It was mentioned in passing by one of the airlines—WestJet—at the last meeting that in the European model for persons with disabilities, the airport authorities are responsible for ensuring accessibility. Requirements are met from the time the person parks their car or is dropped off to the time they're actually seated in the aircraft. That's what I've read.
It seems to me that is something that's worth examining in Canada.
Have you done any work like that? Could you perhaps give us your professional opinion? Would you have any personal advice as well, as we look at that?
It seems to me that there are fewer hand-offs if an airport—which is responsible for the parking lot all the way to the gate, to the bridge and to all of it—is actually responsible. Then the airline concentrates on helping individuals when they're actually on the aircraft.
What are your thoughts on that? Have you studied that model at all?
