Mr. Speaker, the transport minister has not denied that the government, and he himself, is considering giving tens of millions and maybe even hundreds of millions of dollars to Air Canada. Robert Milton, CEO of Air Canada stated in Wings magazine that: “I want to be clear we are not asking for a bail-out or rescue package”.
Why will the Minister of Transport give tens of millions and maybe even hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate welfare when the corporation receiving it does not want it?
