Mr. Speaker, as I said a moment ago in French, the loss of Canada 3000 is indeed regrettable especially for the employees and those Canadians who have lost the choice of an airline carrier. However, I might remind hon. members that competition does exist. It flourishes in many parts of the country, including western Canada where the hon. member is from.
There are certain communities particularly on the east coast that I am concerned about. I am heartened by the fact that WestJet has decided, and has said publicly, that it is going to bring in service to some of those communities. I would hope that Air Transat may look at some of those markets as well.
