To respond to your last question—that is, how do we stop that—some of the provinces felt that the way to arrest the decline in ridership was effectively to provide an opening of the markets so that carriers could offer possibly a different range of services, or offer competitive rates on certain markets, provide alternative services. As we explained, that was certainly not the view of all provincial jurisdictions.
Pour répondre à votre dernière question—à savoir comment freiner cette tendance—, certaines provinces ont estimé que, pour empêcher la clientèle de diminuer encore davantage, il fallait ouvrir les marchés pour permettre aux transporteurs d'offrir éventuellement un éventail différent de services, ou des tarifs concurrentiels sur certaines destinations, ou d'offrir d'autres services.
