Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think we have to remember the following. I often hear my colleagues opposite blame the government. To their minds, it is always the government's fault. You will agree with me that it is easy to blame our government all the time. Airports have been around for a long time though, long before 2015. If there is a process in place now, that is because it has always worked that way.
Our government has invested a great deal in airports. You have to admit that the federal government does not control all the airlines. It plays a certain role, and has something to say about airports and how they operate. Yet I have never heard anyone say that the federal government directly controls all the airlines.
You also have to admit that airline companies also have something to say and have their own ways of doing things. Ultimately, it is a question of co-operation between the two parties.
That said, the federal government it is not entirely to blame. I have to say that everyone is in fact to blame if there is a lack of co-operation.
At the end of the day, everybody's just interested in making money. That's what it's all about. However, there's a problem: You're making money, but what about the service? That's where the Government of Canada steps in, because the service is being penalized. Everybody's out there to make money, and the service is getting worse and worse.
Mr. Ebrahimi, can you tell the committee about the relationship between performance management and the price of airline tickets?
