Mr. Speaker, the government has been very adamant that the changes to the tax regime for Canadian Airlines will help them in the current situation. It is conditional on the employees accepting the restructuring plan.
Earlier in question period the Minister of Transport stated that he is waiting on the response from the sixth union, the CAW. We have heard that response and it is very clear that Mr. Hargrove is equally adamant that his members are not going to be allowed to vote.
All weekend I have been receiving faxes from Canadian Airline employees, some pleading for help, some stating: "Regretfully to Hargrove we did not authorize you to have the final say. We only authorized you to negotiate on our behalf".
Is the Minister of Transport prepared to take some action or is he actually prepared to allow Canadian's restructuring plan to collapse?
