Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for being here.

My questions are for Mr. Jones, the representative of Flair Airlines. My first question is similar to the one I put to the Air Transat representative earlier.

Earlier, some witnesses mentioned that access to airport gates and favourable time slots could be a challenge. However, that helps ensure healthy competition. I'd like to know if Flair Airlines has had any trouble accessing gates at an airport. Without a gate or time slot, you can't plan flights.

Is this a problem for you? What can we do to ensure healthy competition and access to gates and time slots?
