Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Transport committee I would say that, very generally, we do not consult politicians or members of Parliament who may have worked on the act at the time. We examine the act as it stands; we interpret it.

Transport committee As I said before, when it comes to additional opinions, if you wish, about what is found in this opinion, my role is not to provide advice to this committee. I'll leave it at that.

Transport committee We give our opinions on the basis of the act as written, on the basis of case law and on the basis, of course, of our knowledge and our experience. We do not consult politicians on what they may have thought at a certain time.

Transport committee The Government of Canada has no relationship with Aveos itself, so I would not speculate on that.

Pierre Legault
Transport committee It's in the hands of Aveos.
March 29th, 2012Committee meeting
Pierre Legault
Transport committee Aveos is not mentioned in the act.
March 29th, 2012Committee meeting
Pierre Legault
Transport committee The act is focused on Air Canada itself. The obligations are on Air Canada, not on any other entity.
