Mr. Speaker, since the Liberals returned to power, the government has been shameless in its favouritism in dealing with the carrier Canadian. The Minister of Transport, after blocking Air Canada's access to the Asian market, did a repeat this summer by taking away its route to the Czech Republic and giving it to its competitor, Canadian.
Air Canada's traditional market, Europe and the United States, becomes more and more accessible to Canadian, and meanwhile, the Canadian government keeps Air Canada away from the most lucrative routes on the Asian market: the old double standard.
Does the minister realize that favouring Canadian over Air Canada means 7,000 Air Canada jobs in Quebec are in jeopardy?
