I think that's correct.
As we've shown, in the study on improving our infrastructure, for example, our airport brings in $82 million a year in direct and indirect taxes for the various levels of government. The regional air transportation service is therefore more an investment than an expense.
The fact remains that some of our operations are currently on shaky ground. Furthermore, since our basic mission is to provide services to our general public, we need to use considerable human and financial resources if we want to offer flights to Montreal and Quebec City once again. However, those resources could be invested elsewhere.
These services could be provided under various arrangements, but not the same ones as in the past, under which the airlines were paid. On the contrary, we want to work in partnership with the region, businesses and the other levels of government.
