Thank you, Mr. Chair. Welcome to our guests and to the people joining virtually. Thank you for being here today and participating in our important study. I've been a part of this committee since 2019, and there have been many debates around this table with people about vaccines and vaccine mandates and how we would protect people during the height of COVID-19, and the importance of protecting the health of Canadians. Many of the measures we've taken obviously have been about the health and safety of Canadians, including vaccine mandates, and so on.
As Mr. Badawey said, we all want to do the right thing here for the country and for the airline industry, and for every other industry.
I want to ask you this, Mr. Gibbons, and maybe Mr. Rheault could react as well. The Minister of Transport has announced a number of working groups to help address the issues of delays in the industry. Have the airlines been included in these groups, and do you think that the federal government has taken the delay issues seriously?
