Thank you, Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for their testimony and this interesting discussion so far.
I'm going to pick up on a comment that was just made. I think I heard that it's seven million Canadian travellers who are using U.S. airports, and that was attributed to fees.
The other day we heard that the key challenge for the Canadian air industry is the size of our country combined with the smaller population.
To what degree do you think the U.S. airlines are more competitive because of the basic structure of the U.S., with 10 times the population of Canada and a similar size, versus being about fees?
