The department obviously implements the policy, and your branch in particular, so I imagine that you should have an answer to that question.
We heard from airport witnesses at the last meeting about the high fees and high costs here overall, which are up to seven times the fees and taxes they're seeing in the U.S. Let me read a quote from one of the witnesses: “Canada has a high and uncompetitive tax and regulatory environment, with high mandatory third party fees.”
I just want to understand that. Is this justifiable? Is there a plan to reduce them and therefore reduce the cost to Canadians?
