Good morning. Minister.

Good morning.

Here are your speaking notes for tomorrow's roundtable with Canadian airlines and airports. And the report on the revised air passenger protection regulations is also ready for your review.

Thank you, I've been waiting for those.

Perfect.

Minister, we'll need you to sign off on the statement to media about how auto theft is down by 19%.

Okay, perfect.

Perfect. And we've also received an update on the holiday travel preparations.

Okay, I'll take a look at it.

Don't forget, we need your urgent approval to clear Santa's flight. He's scheduled to take off soon, it's one of your new responsibilities as Minister of Transport.

I've been so looking forward to doing this. Is Santa well-rested and ready to fly?

Santa submitted all his preclearance forms and the reindeer are healthy and ready to fly.

Oh, hi, Santa!

Hello, Minister!

I've just received your flight plan, and I'm giving you the green light to take off, Santa.

Thank you. I wish you a very merry Christmas. Ho ho ho!

Thank you, Santa. Merry Christmas to you, too. And please stay safe on your journey.

Santa is now cleared for takeoff. Merry Christmas, happy holidays and happy New Year to all.
