We'll have to see what other groups think about that, but it's worth looking into, at the very least. What a fascinating idea.
You also said that the financial viability of launching a new air link service was problematic, that the company would be taking a risk. You mentioned that a subsidy program could be helpful to fill empty seats, at least for air link service start-ups. It would be similar to the regional air access program the Quebec government introduced during the pandemic. The federal government brought in a similar program during the pandemic, but it was only for places that are not connected by road.
If the government did introduce a program like that, should it be limited to places without road access, or should it be available to remote regions as well? I'm talking about regions that are far from major urban centres but that are connected by road.
