Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport.
On October 11, the Minister of Transport stated in this House that his government's international air transportation policy is flexible and that the "use it or lose it" principle applied only if another airline wanted the route. Otherwise, things would remain unchanged.
Are we to understand from the minister's comments that he had been pressured by Canadian before he took the Prague route away from Air Canada, which would otherwise have kept it, and reassigned it to Canadian last July?
