The issue at the core of our representation today and last month, Mr. Chahal, is that there are only penalties for one group. The minister has even said at committee that your delay or cancellation in Canada can be the result of many different groups. It could be because the customs hall was too full and the plane had to sit on the tarmac. It could be because Nav Canada had a staffing issue. It could be because of an airport failure.
This is not about a blame game. It is simply about improving the system overall and making sure that there's full transparency, so that the Canadian traveller understands what is the root cause of their delay or cancellation. What we've asked for—and what we submitted to this committee in late November as part of our recommendations—is that the priority be shared accountability.
We do not believe the priority right now should be additional penalties on the only group that has any accountability and regulations that govern it. It should be to apply them equally to everyone as the top priority.
