Jesse Kline: Air Canada strike brought to you by the Liberal government
For years, the Liberals have worked to increase the power of Canada's labour unions, and the monster they created is now coming back to bite them as Air Canada's flight attendants walk off the job, grounding hundreds of flights. But Ottawa can start to fix the mess it created by opening the airline market to more competition, thus lessening the impact that strikes have on consumers. Article content Article content It's no coincidence that the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents more than 10,000 Air Canada employees, chose this moment to go on strike and throw the country's air transportation network into chaos. Article content Article content Article content The contract between the airline and its flight attendants ended in March, but the union waited until the height of the summer travel season to walk off the job, in a move that has so far affected around 500,000 travellers. Article content Thanks to legislation passed last year that banned the use of replacement workers in federally regulated industries, including air travel, the union knew the airline would have little recourse if its members hit the picket line. And given the Liberals' penchant for intervening in labour disputes, CUPE could also be fairly certain the government would try to order the striking flight attendants back to work, after doing so in disputes involving Canada's major railways and postal service last year. Article content And so it was that after Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu ordered the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to force the flight attendants back to work and send the parties to binding arbitration on Saturday, Mark Hancock, CUPE's national president, tore up the back-to-work order and vowed to challenge it. Article content Article content On Monday morning, the CIRB declared the strike 'unlawful' and ordered workers back on the job 'immediately.' As of this writing, it's unclear whether the union intends to continue to defy the mandate. Article content Article content The situation highlights the catch-22 the Liberals now find themselves in: their interventionist, pro-labour policies have reduced the incentive for unions to settle disputes at the bargaining table, forcing Ottawa to step in to alleviate the resulting political headache caused by major disruptions in markets that are dominated by a few large players. Article content It's a classic case of the state stepping in with Big Government policies to fix problems caused by other interventionist measures. But it's also an opportunity for the Liberals to read the room and enact reforms that will attract foreign investment, make the country more competitive and reduce prices for consumers. Article content To do that, the government should follow the advice of its own Competition Bureau, which released a report in the spring advocating for more competition in Canada's airline market. Article content To be sure, there have been some noticeable improvements in recent years. According to the competition watchdog, thanks to upstart airlines like Porter and Flair, market concentration dropped by 10 per cent between 2019 and 2023. Article content But Air Canada and WestJet still account for between 56 and 78 per cent of all domestic passenger traffic departing from Canada's major airports. This is a direct result of government policies that favour incumbent carriers, increase costs and limit foreign ownership and competition. Article content One of the major barriers faced by new airlines, according to the Competition Bureau, is the high cost of government taxes and fees that are tacked onto ticket prices. Article content Some of them are designed to ensure the cost of running Canada's air transportation network is paid by travellers, which makes perfect sense. But ticket prices are also affected by fuel taxes and high airport fees, which Ottawa simply treats as a cash cow. Article content This assertion is backed up by research released Monday by the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI), which found that the exorbitant rents the federal government charges airport authorities is significantly driving up the cost of air travel. Article content Article content According to MEI, airports sent Ottawa close to $500 million in rental fees last year, which is up 68 per cent since 2014. Article content All told, the think tank found that the average airport improvement fee paid in Canada is four times higher than in the United States. Airport security charges and fuel taxes are also far higher in Canada than in peer countries, such as the U.S. and Australia. Article content These costs make it harder for discount carriers to compete based on price. The Competition Bureau says that taxes and fees constitute 30 per cent of the ticket price on major carriers, but that those 'costs take up an even higher share of what passengers pay for flights on ultra-low-cost carriers,' which makes them less profitable. Article content New carriers are also constrained by airport procedures, which often favour incumbents. Smaller, secondary airports in major cities can provide consumers and airlines with more options, but are hamstrung by the size of their runways and legal restrictions that only allow one international airport in certain regions. Article content Article content A good example is Toronto's Billy Bishop Airport, which is often cheaper and more convenient than Pearson Airport, but was prevented from hosting long-haul flights when the Liberals kiboshed plans to extend its runway to accommodate passenger jets in 2015. Article content Yet the biggest impediments to airline competition are the government's restrictions on foreign ownership and its prohibition on foreign carriers flying domestic routes. Article content In 2018, Ottawa increased the share of Canadian airlines that foreigners are allowed to own, but the Competition Bureau doesn't think it went far enough. Article content It recommends the rules be changed so that a single foreign investor can own up to 49 per cent of a Canadian carrier, and that the government create a new class of airline that can only serve domestic routes but can be fully owned by non-Canadians. Article content The competition watchdog also suggests Ottawa start allowing 'airlines from partner countries to fly domestic service within Canada.'

London auto parts plant that supplies CAMI/BrightDrop vehicles is ceasing operations
A London auto parts plant that supplies seats to the CAMI/BrightDrop vehicles is being shuttered. Magna Corporation issued a statement confirming that Qualtech Seating Systems is expected to be fully closed by Oct. 10. The statement, issued by vice president of corporate communications Tracy Fuerst, says 49 Qualtech employees will be affected. 'We appreciate this decision is a difficult one for the valued and hard-working employees at Qualtech, and the Company is committed to working with the team through the plant closure process to help ensure a smooth transition,' according to the statement. In April, General Motors (GM) announced it was idling operations at the Ingersoll CAMI assembly plant until October. GM cited slow sales and an oversupply of vehicles as reasons for the pause in CAMI operations. UNIFOR 88 leadership, which represents unionized workers at the plant, cited U.S. tariffs as a contributing factor. The assembly plant will be reduced to a single shift with approximately 450 unionized workers when production resumes. An estimated 500 unionized workers will be indefinitely laid off.

Canadian dollar to weaken against global markets, currency expert predicts
Sorry, we're having trouble with this video. Please try again later. [5006/404] A foreign exchange expert made a bearish call for the Canadian dollar on Monday, anticipating the loonie will hover around 70 cents against the U.S. dollar as other currencies strengthen. Dan Tobon, head of G10 FX Strategy at Citi Research says he doesn't expect a major collapse in the Canadian dollar, but says a correlation with the U.S. economy, potential for deeper Bank of Canada rate cuts and a removal of positive hedge ratio adjustments will impact it. 'We're not structurally bearish in the dollar, but certainly the next few months could still see some weaker dollars,' Tobon told BNN Bloomberg in an interview. 'It's going to be hard for the Canadian dollar independently to sell off. More likely what will happen is it'll be both the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar underperforming everything else.' On Monday afternoon, the Canadian dollar was trading at around 72 cents per one American dollar. Tobon said a soft patch in U.S. labour market data can weigh on the Canadian dollar due to a close relationship between both economies. He noted that Canadian investors have been buying back Canadian dollars as they hedge their U.S. asset exposure, which has supported the currency and said this flow appears to be running out, removing a key source of support for the loonie. 'If you're Canadian and you buy a U.S. asset, you have to sell your Canadian dollars to buy U.S. dollars to buy that asset,' said Tobon. 'Historically, most investors are actually happy to maintain that, because historically, when equity markets go down, the dollar tends to perform well. It's almost like a built-in hedge.' 'The other thing too is U.S. rates tend to be higher, so you're actually earning some carry. This used to be a great scenario. I can buy U.S. equities, I have the dollar exposure where I'm actually earning a little carry, and it's a hedge. In case of risk off. Things have changed a lot this year, and as we saw back in April, we saw the correlation flip, where we saw risk off, but with that risk off, a weaker dollar and higher U.S. Treasury yields. What started happening is this belief that maybe the dollar isn't the hedge that it always was.' He said markets are currently pricing only one more cut from the Bank of Canada over the next year but sees scope for more aggressive cuts than expected. Despite sticky inflation, weakness in other parts of the Canadian economy could lead to deeper rate cuts as inflation normalizes amid the Canada-U.S. trade war. 'We saw a huge amount of Canadian dollar buying by a lot of the Canadian pensions in the first half of the year, especially after April,' said Tobon. 'They weren't necessarily de-risking their U.S. exposure, they were just de-risking their dollar exposure, but that effectively meant they were buying a lot of Canadian dollars over the last couple months.' Loonie against global currencies While some weaknesses against the U.S. dollar is expected, Tobon sees broader Canadian dollar weakness against the European Union's euro, Japanese yen, and other currencies as a bigger concern. One Canadian dollar is trading at around 0.62 Euros and 107 Japanese Yen. 'It's very hard to get a situation where the Canadian dollar is weakening significantly, but maybe the Euro and Australian dollar and these other currencies are strengthening significantly,' said Tobon. 'The betas effectively make the adjustment. Maybe we can get down towards US$70. That's not a monster move from here, but it's something that's definitely notable. The bigger issue is, then, are we going to get broader Canadian weakness against the euro, against the yen, against these other currencies?'
