Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for their testimony.
I want to go back to Professor Moore. He managed his time very well, but I wonder if he has more to say about what we just heard about the Canadian traveller bearing the highest taxes and fees in the world when it comes to our airfares.
We saw that, in the last budget, the government increased the security charge. I believe that comes into effect tomorrow, where our security charges will go up to more than twice what is paid for an international flight out of the United States.
I guess my question is, what's the low-hanging fruit? What are the taxes and fees the government can look to reduce or bring into line with our international competitors right off the hop?
Do we need to fundamentally alter the way our airports are run? Are there ways to look at reducing fees that will immediately benefit passengers who are looking for lower airfares?
