Thank you, Mr. Chair. So we don't want to phase in these fees; first of all, it would create uncertainty for air carriers and travellers if we did a phased-in approach. The phased-in approach would mean that a significant operating subsidy would have to be maintained from the taxpayer, so that's another reason we wouldn't want to do it, and a phased-in approach implement would result in a delay in the ability to make necessary capital improvements. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
