Thank you very much.

We have a great deal of questions for you, but there is a very important matter I have to attend to, and I believe that we have an agreement.

I'm going to seek unanimous consent, and I believe that there will be an amendment offered as well, Chair, but the motion that I would like to move at this point, hoping for unanimous consent with an amendment from the floor, is this:

Given Air Canada's plan to restrict carry-on bags for customers purchasing its lowest-priced "basic economy" fares starting January 3, impacting the affordability of air travel for Canadians, the committee invites the CEO of Air Canada the Minister of Transport to address this matter within seven days.
