In communities across the country, the response to what we're doing is very positive, Mr. Strahl.
This is what the experts have said. Canada has a high tax and regulatory burden, and reorienting and modernizing those policies is going to help competition.
The motion before the committee is in light of Lynx Air's failure. Lynx cited the reasons, in their opinion, for their failure. I think this was a very well capitalized airline. They had ownership from one of the most savvy airline owner-operators in the world, and they failed.
There are challenges. You went through CATSA, Nav Canada, rents and AIFs, and I think the common denominator with all of them is that there is a lot of debt to dig out of from the pandemic. That debt, whether it's airlines or whether it's those organizations, is all being felt by the traveller. We're in an affordability crisis.
Again, back to the APPR, every community, every small airline, every small region and everyone across the country has said that this is not the time to increase the cost of travel. We can protect Canadian travellers, but we also should not be increasing costs at this time.
