Thank you, Mr. Strahl.
I will ensure that no vote is called until Ms. Lantsman has re-established her connection.
With the consent of members, I'd like to read the following motion. It is my understanding there is broad consensus on this motion, which reads as follows:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee commit to undertake a special meeting to study the travel disruptions that occurred during the December 2022-January 2023 holiday period with a view of understanding why the disruptions occurred, holding those responsible accountable and identifying what actions are being taken to avoid a recurrence of the problems in the future.
That, as part of the study, representatives of industry, including Sunwing, VIA Rail, Air Canada, and Westjet; the Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver airport authorities, the Canadian Transportation Agency, Transport Canada and the Minister of Transport be invited to testify.
And that, in consultation with the Committee Members, the Chair be empowered to coordinate the resources and scheduling necessary to hold the special meeting on Thursday, January 12th, 2023 and that the testimony recorded at the special meeting become part of the Committee's ongoing study on Air Passenger Rights.
Mrs. Vignola, I give you the floor.
