Mr. Speaker, when Air Canada took over Canadian Airlines one of the biggest fears was that a strike might occur with this new airline and that it would cripple air travel in Canada. It now appears that we may reach that point next week as talks have broken down between Air Canada's pilots and management. The government said that it has appointed a mediator. I would assume that the mediator has always been in place.
What action is the government prepared to take to ensure that summer travellers in Canada have uninterrupted flights and that their travel will not be held hostage?
