Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank all of the witnesses for being with us this afternoon, along with their hard-working and dedicated teams.
My questions are for Transport Canada officials.
Prior to the pandemic, to what extent was Transport Canada involved in the day‑to‑day operational decisions of Canadian airports, such as work schedules and the number of employees assigned?
If Transport Canada or the minister wanted to micromanage these kinds of operational decisions, would they have the authority to do so?
