Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Minister, for accepting our invitation to appear before this committee once again, a short month after your last appearance here.
Our colleagues on the Conservative side are suggesting that you should have used emergency authorities to order airlines to take certain actions. I would argue—and I'll ask you, if I may—that it is a little rich for a party that talks about making the government smaller and less intrusive in getting gatekeepers out of the way to suggest that you micromanage the operations of private airlines.
