As I said in my opening remarks, we view regional air transport as a service that's essential if we want to occupy the land. If there's no air transport to travel to the regions, that will undermine the vitality of those regions. We're convinced that tourism is the way to keep those regions alive and help them flourish. Consequently, we have to facilitate access to regional flights.
In Quebec right now, we have the Programme d'accès aérien aux régions, which I told you about and which offers $500 tickets. A number of airlines use this program, including Air Canada, Air Creebec, Air Inuit, Air Liaison, PAL Airlines and PASCAN Aviation. These are obviously companies of different sizes. We've observed that there's a need for airlines, but the fact that we need so many subsidies to fund ticket purchases so that people can travel to the regions is a problem. The situation isn't viable in the long term. When you say subsidies, you're talking about money out of taxpayers' pockets. These flights therefore have to become profitable.
