Mr. Chair, my colleagues know that the air sector across the world faced many challenges as we were recovering from COVID. We saw disruptions, delays and cancellations at airports around the world, including here in Canada.
Transport Canada and I have been working diligently with the sector—with airlines, with airports—to improve and to learn from these challenges. I am relieved to say that things are much better than they used to be. In fact, performance is almost back to where it used to be before the pandemic. However, we're not stopping there, Mr. Chair.
We are working on investing in our airports. We are working on strengthening the passenger bill of rights, which protects passengers. We want to make sure that the system is efficient and competitive, and that passengers are protected.
I welcome my colleague's support for our work on strengthening the passenger bill of rights so that passengers, like his constituents, if they are delayed, find the compensation they deserve.
