Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to go with Mr. Gradek with respect to my questioning.
I would like to get a bit more granular on the business side of how to make this happen with respect to a more healthy environment for our airline sector. I'll preface my comments by saying that, having spent many years in business, although subsidies are always, I guess, a go-to for government as well as others to take advantage of, what's more important in the business world is to have—I think Mr. Gradek touched on it—better and more strategic policies in place by government to allow for better decision-making within the private sector.
Canada is a big area with a small population. Therefore, what I'm going to concentrate on, Mr. Gradek, is integrating our supply networks. We looked at fluidity with respect to moving people and trade. Based on that fluidity, we looked at having more cost-efficiency built into the system. Of course, a lot of that depends on the policies that are put in place by government. On the operational and capital side, it's about sustainability and not isolating the movement of goods and/or people, but actually integrating the movement of goods and people and therefore integrating our supply chains, integrating our networks. As well there's recognizing where those regional hubs are, where those markets are, and the strengths of each. As well there are the supply chains, people and goods, logistics, integrating supply networks. Finally, with that, there's the integration of a multimodal network that exists in Canada but has never been taken fully advantage of when it comes to that integration. Therefore, once again, there's the fluidity and the cost-efficiency.
With all that said, Mr. Gradek, I want to give you the opportunity, based on your experience, to comment on how to bring all that together and then have the proper policy put in place by government to allow for a more robust airline network.
