Mr. Speaker, the hon. member will know that there are many factors involved in the air industry. Perhaps he would like to advise U.S. carriers that somehow or other there must be spillover effect because they have been having some bad times as well.
The truth is that we do not agree with him that the general taxpayer should pay the additional costs of airline security, rather that people who use the airline services are the ones that should pay for it.
He should come clean and say that he wants people who never fly to pay for increased airline security.
