Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport.
The federal government supports Canadian Airlines' efforts to be exempted from the scope of the U.S. antitrust legislation, so as to integrate more completely with its U.S. partner, American Airlines. However, such a decision would have a disastrous effect on Canada's air transportation industry.
Will the minister recognize that allowing Canadian to do that will result in that company being fully integrated with American Airlines, thus increasing U.S. control over Canada's air transportation industry?
