Mr. Speaker, tonight in this chamber there will be a take note debate on the future of Air Canada. We know that Air Canada is asking the government for huge grants to get itself out of the jam it is in. What we do not know is what the government's response will be.
Will the Minister of Transport tell us what the government's position is? Does it plan to provide generous grants to Air Canada or will it limit itself to compensation for losses directly related to airport closures and increased insurance premiums?
