Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport.
Next week, the Prime Minister is scheduled to ratify with President Clinton a treaty to liberalize Canadian-American air space and provide Canadian carriers better access to the lucrative U.S. market, particularly at the New York and Chicago airports.
Since the Minister of Transport deprived Air Canada of the very lucrative Asian market, to the benefit of Canadian International, can he tell us if, this time, he intends to favour Air Canada as regards access to the U.S. market?
