Transport committee  We'll have to report back. It's a fair share. We are a very inclusive company, so there are quite a few, but I don't have the exact number.

Transport committee  I would have to get back on that. There are, obviously, very different types of employee groups that have certain limitations on what kind of disabilities can be accommodated. If you think of pilots, there are limits to the disabilities that would allow someone to be a pilot or

Transport committee  First of all, we are a very diverse company. In all diversity dimensions, we are scoring relatively high. I think we are doing a pretty good job in that sense. I like your proposal. It is certainly something we should look at. I'm not sure to what extent we have explicit targets

Transport committee  I'm sorry. I just want to recommend.... We provide this information when we are asked, so we don't need to be regulated to provide it. We're happy to share all of this information with the public.

Transport committee  Generally we always try to accommodate and find solutions. However, if it would be a regulatory requirement to always use an aircraft that has certain capabilities, this may become quite a challenge. We have seven airplanes—just seven—that are widebodies and that have big cargo h

Transport committee  Yes, one hundred per cent. We have a very constructive relationship with the unions. We discuss all these types of things with the unions wherever it's appropriate. Let me just correct one thing. It's not a rare thing. We have someone with some kind of disability, on average, on

Transport committee  Maybe just as a general comment, I agree that it's confusing. There are different regulations for domestic and international flying. The domestic is always relatively easy to organize. Internationally, you always have to think of the other airlines as well. There are other airlin

Transport committee  I think what we need is consistency. I'm not generally opposed to that. I'm just saying that we need consistency. Once we get into international travel, we need to make sure that the consistency is not just on the Canadian airlines but also on the other airlines. Otherwise, it be

Alexis von Hoensbroech

Transport committee  I can just repeat what I said before, that it's the consistency across the entire system. If someone books a WestJet ticket but this is operated on an Air France flight, for instance, and Air France does not have this type of rule, then this is creating confusion, and we may not

Alexis von Hoensbroech

Transport committee  I would, 100%. I think that transparency is super important in our industry. We are ready to share all this information with the CTA. I would also request transparency in the other direction. The CTA has not always been super transparent about what kinds of complaints there are

Alexis von Hoensbroech

Transport committee  Of course, it's our job to ensure that we have consistent service across our entire network, not just the Canadian network. Having said that, we also have to work with the infrastructure and the way the airports that we fly to are equipped. Not every airport is the same. By the w

Transport committee  We would have to get back to you on that. I don't have the international versus domestic breakdown on that.

Alexis von Hoensbroech

Transport committee  Yes, absolutely.

Transport committee  It's for as soon as possible, but I'll let Todd speak to that.

February 15th, 2024Committee meeting

Alexis von Hoensbroech

Transport committee  I'm sorry, but I just want to clarify. I know it's a small number and we are proud it's a small number because it shows that our organization is taking this very serious, but nevertheless, I also said that every single case is one case too many. Every single case is a case that
