Transport committee Here's the thing: There's a way they're supposed to do it, and then there's a way that some of them actually do it. I'll add a story here as I respond to this about a recent experience I had. I was travelling from Calgary to Vancouver, L.A. and Toronto, and then back to Calgary, over a seven-day period.

Transport committee Thank you, Mr. Strahl. Just for the benefit of the committee, I will move my other commitments so that I can stay as long as you need me. This happens frequently to us as lawyers, so just take whatever time you need. I will answer whatever questions you have. In response to your specific question, this is a tremendously important issue for people who are blind, who have low vision or who are deaf-blind.

Transport committee Yes. I think you're absolutely right. The thing that frustrates me even more is that about three years ago, I did a training video with Deloitte for Air Canada in which we talked about these various issues. It's being used by the airline and I'm recognized a number of times by airline staff as I go through the airport, yet funnily enough, they don't seem to have absorbed the content of that video.
