Human Resources committee  Negotiating a contract is not a science. It's more of an art, and it's based on relationship. My comment is that I don't believe so.

Human Resources committee  Absolutely. The Air France incident was at 3 p.m. or 4 p.m., at a change in shift, and we had 135 additional workers helping out.

Human Resources committee  They are responsible people, but we are against this piece of legislation. We believe the equilibrium will be totally taken away.

Human Resources committee  I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that the smaller airports are not...? Under the federal legislation, I think the same rules will apply to them.

Human Resources committee  I would like to start with the aviation industry and the airports. The number one operational assumption of any airport in Canada and in the world is always the worst-case scenario. We process in Toronto--the travelling public--80,000 passengers per day, 31 million per year. I'm not a lawyer, but I've been in this business for 30 years, labour relations, and the only thing I can provide you with is empirical evidence from the operator side.
