I believe it would be political suicide for the Liberals to give money to Air Canada and others that still owe their customers money. There's no question that this would have to be a part of the deal, in my opinion, because there would be screams from customers, and understandably so, if Air Canada were to receive billions of dollars and not repay. I think that just has to be part of the deal.
Number two, we can't have it both ways. We can't say that as a result of provincial jurisdictions, where we're going to create the Atlantic bubble or we're going to have rules based on safety, and where the government's regulations, rules, restrictions, which are done for all the right reasons.... I'm not second-guessing, but you can't have a situation where there are regulations enforced and rules put forward by governments that in essence are destroying the industry and then say to the industry, “Well, you're on your own.” We can't have it both ways.
We understand the preoccupation with safety. There's nobody here who disagrees with that, but what we're saying is that if the government is going to put in place restrictions that are going to lead to the economic carnage of the industry, my gosh, then, you would think that they would put up their hands and say, “Listen, we understand, and we're all in this together.” Just like this pandemic, we're all in this together, regardless of industry and regardless of profits, and the only way we're going to get out of this is by doing it together. That means we're going to need to have a strong economy as well.
