May I ask a quick last question?

Okay. Then all I'll say is thank you very much to all three of you.

Do you have a rough sense, Mr. Chairman, of what time we will reconvene? I know that we'll all run back after voting, but do you have a rough estimate?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to start by seconding the line of questioning from Mr. Davies. I thought that pinpointing those countries that need the visa for being in the airport would be some useful work that this committee could do, which we could highlight. If you gentlemen help us out, I think this is something we could do that is really concrete.
I'd like to start with Mr. Taylor. I'm glad you quoted that WEF report, because I wanted to ask you about it. It is striking that we rank number one in air transit infrastructure but rank 136 out of 140 when it comes to ticket taxes and airport charges. What can we do about that?

Do you have some sort of an estimate, a ballpark, of how much of a shift you'd like to see? What would make us competitive, say, with the U.S.? What would make Mr. Bruno competitive with Seattle?

Do I have time for one more question, Mr. Chairman?

It's Wednesday afternoon, but you guys have actually been very radical in talking about the desirability of a Schengen visa arrangement in North America. How realistic do you think that is? Have you been talking to some counterparties about it? What impact would it have on your industry?
Maybe Mr. Taylor first and then Mr. Bruno.

I want to start off by thanking you both for your testimony. I'd also like to say that I'm pretty new to this file and have been meeting with a lot of stakeholders. They have been uniform in their praise of the skill of Canadian trade negotiators, so thank you very much for that. It's great to hear.
I want to start with a couple of really specific questions; I apologize in advance for my ignorance. On the blue sky policy website, I was able to find the figures for the increased outbound international traffic between 2006 and 2011. It has gone up by 50%. I couldn't find the figure for the inbound international traffic. Is it just the same, and that's why you didn't put it there, or am I missing something? Is there any meaningful difference?

Thank you.
I am also wondering how much of a sense you have of the implications of the stepped-up level of agreements on traffic regionally. In particular, I'm the MP for Toronto Centre, and we have a regional airport that is the subject of quite a lot of controversy, as I'm sure you're aware. I'd be interested in any information you could share about that.
Where are people going, and has there been more of an increase in some airports and regions than others?

Thank you.
Mr. Davies raised the issue of cabotage. I would be interested in a sort of blue-sky thinking approach on what your views are, as people who have been working in this area for a long time.
What should we be thinking in the longer term in terms of cabotage that would be beneficial for Canadian consumers, Canadian airlines, people who work for Canadian airlines?

Or vice versa, right? There could be cabotage in the U.S. that would be open to Canadian airlines, for example.
