Health committee  I'll start, and maybe ask Dr. Chung to comment as well, and others. I don't suggest it's wrong, but I guess when we look at that, as we assess it, we look at other parts of the world. In fact, even in Canada, you have medical officers and medical directors within provinces who h

Health committee  Unless we know there is a high-risk area. I mean we're seeing parts of the globe on an ongoing basis, and, like you said, even here within Canada, where the 14-day quarantine measures are being lifted. I'm not here to disagree with Dr. Tam, I'm not a doctor, but there are seve

Health committee  There are provinces within Canada that don't have a 14-day quarantine period.

Health committee  Yes, I can answer that question. I just want to clarify as well, with regard to your previous question, that when I mentioned the 14-day quarantine, as Jared mentioned, I was referring to interprovincial travel within Canada.

Health committee  It's intracountry, so travelling province to province, but Canada itself as a whole has a 14-day quarantine—

Health committee  Yes, I can answer that, and it's not because I didn't want to answer the question. I wanted to clarify your previous question, so hopefully that—

Health committee  Thank you. I think what is important to know is that we still have a thousand people who are on the CEWS program. As for the CEWS program, we chose to not continue with it because of the shutdown of the borders and the decline in our business. Essentially we're running a 5% bu

Health committee  With respect to January, I would say any decisions that were made early on in the year were largely commercial in nature. I would say the more pointed changes that we experienced would have come in late April and into early May, where we saw the border constraints continuing to b

Health committee  No, I'm not sure you can conclude that. I wouldn't say that at all. You're drawing a parallel between the traffic going back and forth and—if I'm understanding you correctly—the rate of transmission between the two countries. I don't know if you can draw a parallel to that. I wo

Health committee  Yes, I would just echo my colleagues' responses. Air Canada has complied with the applicable regulations as of April 22 and the CTA statements. I'll also reiterate that for refundable tickets, we issued payment on those as per the tariffs and the regulations to the tune of $1 bil

Health committee  Thank you very much to the member for the question. We really understand the impact on the tertiary businesses. We just recently started a tourism round table, which consists of well over 45 members from the tourism/travel/visitor economy, of which other forms of transportation

Health committee  I'll start quickly, just to give you a sense of the program. CleanCare+ was instituted roughly a month ago. We were the first airline to introduce the temperature checks and the wearing of masks. It's essentially designed to ensure that we take additional measures within the cabi

Health committee  Yes, Mr. Chair. Thank you for the question. Yes, we actually operated 21 special repatriation flights, and we brought back just over 8,500 Canadians on those flights. In addition, during the pandemic and during the crisis and the taking down and the tightening of border restrict

Health committee  Well, I'll start. I'll be quick, to allow my colleagues to respond. Look, we're a supply-and-demand business. We're in a state right now where demand is off. I don't necessarily see that transition into higher airfares. What it does mean for the businesses is that as long as the

Health committee  Thank you. I don't have a percentage for a refunds approach process, but what I can tell you is that just over a billion dollars in refunds on refundable tickets is in process.
