Thank you for your question, Ms. Koutrakis.
I obviously agree that Air Canada is a source of pride for Canada. It connects Canada to the world, and it's good for the country when it prospers.
Yes, there are ways to work together to improve market conditions and make all carriers more competitive both in Canada and internationally. For example, as we discussed, you could review the taxes and fees applicable to the industry. Your colleague Mr. Williams mentioned that many American carriers serve Canadians in border states. There's an airport in Plattsburgh that calls itself “Montreal's U.S. airport”.
That's a symptom of a situation that encourages Canadians to cross the border to catch a flight. We should work together to see what could be done to keep our passengers in Canada because we're also losing jobs here.
