Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for bringing this matter to the attention of the House. I take this opportunity on behalf of the Minister of Transport to assure the House and, more important, the travelling public that the systems are in place to handle all air traffic completely safely. It may be slower but it will be safe.
I also advise that the transport management is in contact with CATCA which will be meeting with the union tomorrow morning. The union is trying to be helpful in getting the controllers back to work.
I should also point out to the House that the severity of such unwarranted job action must be looked into, in the fullest extent of the collective agreement.
