David Chartrand
Transport committee Good afternoon, and thank you. My name is David Chartrand, Quebec coordinator for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in Canada. As my colleague said earlier, we have serious concerns with the introduction of Bill C-10. In particular, clause 2 expl

Transport committee We urge this committee to send Bill C-10 back to the House with the following recommendations: Remove the new subsection (4) pertaining to maintenance activities. We ask that the jobs and this industry be maintained in Canada and that the government continue to invest in and sup

David Chartrand
Transport committee I would like to answer that. On a number of occasions, since the minute the Liberal government was elected, we have sent letters and started trying to communicate with Minister Garneau, and we also sent 90 letters to different MPs explaining to them that it was important for us

Transport committee In my mind, any company that could obtain a contract with Air Canada would not be seen very well coming here and talking against what Air Canada wants to do.

May 4th, 2016Committee meeting
David Chartrand
Transport committee I agree completely with Mr. Cadieux, but you are asking us why a restriction would be imposed on Air Canada, which is trying to compete with companies like WestJet. I wonder about something. At present, the government is delaying giving assistance to Bombardier, which is a priva

David Chartrand
Transport committee I can tell you right now about the province of Quebec. I can't speak for the whole country, but I know the two witnesses yesterday told you that there was a bunch of people who are being trained out west. I can tell you there are about 600 people right now in schools hoping to ge

Transport committee It is growing everywhere in the world. We're not taking our fair share of it here. It isn't growing here.
