Thank you, Chair.
I just want to thank the witnesses and also to inform you, Chair, that I would like to give a minute of my time to my colleague, Mr. Lawrence.
My question is going to be for the CEO of Air Canada, Mr. Rousseau.
Mr. Rousseau, we know that government regulations, fees and taxes overall in Canada carry a big weight on the airline operations in Canada. This is one of the reasons why it's more expensive to fly in Canada than in other countries. We heard this during our study of airline competition, and we also heard that here today.
Would you agree that when governments dump higher taxes and fees onto airlines, that has a consequence of raising the prices of tickets for the average traveller?
