Daniel Côté, the mayor of Gaspé and chair of the air transport committee at the Union des municipalités du Québec, appeared before this committee and suggested that the regions should be allowed to set up and administer mandatory tendering in order to serve more remote communities.
Should we decentralize the management of regional airports, hand it over to a community and let that community select an air carrier and even negotiate the services it could provide in the region? Do you think that might help our regional airports?
