Transport committee  I think I'm pretty well commented out, Mr. Volpe. Thank you very much.

Transport committee  One of the things we're good at in Newfoundland and Labrador comes through the federal government, which years ago put in a good ILS system. That gets the airplanes in and out. We do have snowplows, and the roads and runways are cleared very quickly after a snowstorm. Your const

Transport committee  Mr. Volpe, before I start my comments, I'd like to inform you that I have a hearing problem. I have a hearing aid in my left ear, and I don't have one in my right ear. This thing here is probably the most useless thing I've ever worn with regard to trying to understand a question

Transport committee  What would be a reasonable expectation? Now, if I went in to buy a pair of shoes, I'd reasonably expect a good pair of shoes and I'd expect if there is something wrong with them that the person who sold them to me would fix it.

It certainly would disappoint not only me but every other Canadian who's had a problem and not been adequately compensated for

Transport committee  No problem.

Transport committee  To conclude, I long for the days when air travellers were treated fairly. I remember being fog-delayed, and when we arrived at our alternate airport, hotels were booked, buses were waiting, and information was available on rescheduling.

Transport committee  Merci. Bienvenue à tout le monde. Unfortunately, that's the extent of my French, but I want to thank you for the invitation to present to this committee today, especially seeing that I was the one who started all the fuss. Hopefully we'll come out with a good resolution. I wan
