Madam Speaker, it was an interesting speech by the member for Regina—Qu'Appelle. There were a lot of words but not much substance.
Let me be clear. I too am in favour of the 10% rule, but I do not not want to see the government tie its hands so that we do not have some flexibility.
One remark the hon. member made which did make some sense is that people are concerned about the future of the airline industry in this country. That is true. The government is concerned. The minister is concerned. That is why the minister outlined the five principles. That is why the minister dealt with the Competition Act in order to try to solve this problem in a very managed way.
The member took one personal shot at me which I should mention and that is that I am a little bit left. Yes, and I am proud of it. The difference between my party and that party over there is that we are willing to look at some flexibility for the good of the country. We do not bury our heads in the sand as does the New Democratic Party which does not look at all the options.
What is the member's view on the five principles that the minister has outlined?
