Madam Speaker, in 1982 I was not old enough to have a driver's licence. I do not remember the specific legislation. However, I have a great deal of respect for my hon. colleague, and I can say that the types of policies that governments implemented in 1982 and in fact in the 1970s were very different. I believe that even the Liberals realize that part of the reason is that we are operating in a global environment. We are dealing with many global realities which are quite different from those which existed in the 1970s and early 1980s.
It is very difficult for me to compare those two issues because I believe we are dealing with profoundly different global competitiveness issues today. What may have been appropriate then would probably not be appropriate now in a policy sense. It is also important to realize that Caisse de dépôt now owns 10% of Air Canada.
I hope at least in some form that is an answer for the hon. member.
