Transport committee  We have looked at the Calgary-Edmonton corridor. One of the more interesting experiences we've had in that corridor came when the security tax first came in. I think it was levied at $12 one way, so that would be $24 for a round trip. We actually ended up reducing capacity in that corridor because it dissuaded people from purchasing tickets.

Transport committee  For Edmonton-Calgary, it's approximately 500,000 seats. It's about five to six flights a day.

Transport committee  I'd have to do some math. I'd have to go to the back of the room for half an hour before I could come back to you on that one. For Montreal-Toronto—

Transport committee  I will speak briefly just for WestJet. They're a lot bigger on Montreal-Toronto. We're trying, but they're still a lot bigger on Montreal-Toronto. For Montreal-Toronto, it's about also six or seven flights a day. So again, that's 500,000 or 600,000 seats per annum. There would be two impacts.

Transport committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My name is Mike McNaney. I'm the VP of regulatory affairs at WestJet. I'm appearing today under the NAC banner. We just thought, because this is an east and west discussion, it might be useful if two of our members were here. And indeed, it's a banner day in Canadian aviation, because WestJet agrees with everything Air Canada just said—and that has never happened before.
