Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I understand what the department is telling him but I urge the Minister to think about what he believes is the right thing as one of the leaders of this government, Mr. Speaker.
The information that I have is that there are other northern airlines and aircraft businesses who could contemplate taking on this contract. I am not clear, and the Minister has not made it clear that he will open this up for possible consideration by other companies. Would the Minister make the commitment to open this up? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
