Mr. Speaker, people are looking not for speeches but for leadership.
Securing airline jobs depends in part on restoring confidence in travel safety. The American government recognizes the urgency of government taking direct responsibility for baggage and airport security. The Canadian government speaks only of setting security guidelines. That is not good enough. Canadians want to know that their government will back its words with action and that means making airport security a direct government responsibility.
Will the Prime Minister give that assurance today?
