So now the only airlines that should be allowed to exist are legacy carriers with a large enough geographical size to have a sizable domestic market?
I don't think we are discussing "unfettered" access; just increased access.
Who would they have to pay for this access? Air Canada I presume.
In the mean time those individuals and businesses not part of AC, that could benefit from more travel options are s.o.l.
Making someones 'ski vacation or whatever' easier should be a consideration. Tourism is a vital part of the Canadian economy and it is already underdeveloped so easier travel would be a benefit.
I think Rob Howard's presentation to the Senate Committee addressed it quite clearly.
