Indeed, I would like to reiterate what John just said. Without infrastructure, it is impossible for us to have an optimal aviation sector functioning in the north. We are regulating this sector from the wrong starting point. Once we have a decent amount of infrastructure in place up there, we'll have a much more realistic picture as to what we need to do in order to make sure we are allowing our airlines to compete and deliver a safe service to Canadian citizens.
I'd like to reiterate that without adequate infrastructure, it is impossible to do any laws that make any sense at the moment. We need a two-pronged approach. We need to immediately look at what kind of infrastructure can be put in place right now to lift the Arctic region out of the dire situation it's in. At the same time, look at what kinds of aviation regulations make sense for this type of region, where you have vast lands, a very small population, a very small market and a high commercial interest. Perhaps there's a play there for us to charge companies additional fees to use those types of services.
Again, I second that comment. I believe that if we build it, sir, they will come. We need to look at infrastructure in order to optimize all of aviation.
