The Deputy Chair: Honourable senators, I declare this meeting of the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications in session. We are here to continue our study on the airline industry.

Appearing before us from the Regional Community Airports Coalition of Canada are Alvin Maier, Chief Executive Officer; and Todd Tripp, Vice-Chair of the RCAAC and Airport Manager of Sioux Lookout Municipal Airport.

Alvin Maier, Chief Executive Officer, Regional Community Airports Coalition of Canada: Members of the committee, on behalf of the members of the Regional Community Airports Coalition of Canada, I thank you for the opportunity to speak on the aviation industry in Canada. Joining me this morning is my colleague, Mr. Todd Tripp, Manager of Sioux Lookout Airport and Vice-Chair of the RCACC. Mr. Brian Grant was scheduled to join us this morning but was unable to attend.

The Regional Community Airports Coalition of Canada is a national organization of airports and associations representing airports across Canada. We are dedicated to promoting the viability of regional community airports. The RCACC was formed in to provide a national voice for communicating to the federal and provincial governments the economic, regulatory and operational issues affecting regional community airports across Canada. Our 34 member airports are non-National Airports System airports, non-NAS airports. They are regional and community certified airports that Transport Canada sold to local communities under the National Airports Policy, NAP.

Honourable senators, unlike our city cousins, — mainly the 26 National Airports System

Welcome to a new way of thinking and living, one that thousands of families have found to be very rewarding. This page is an introduction to the discovery of a new lifestyle. It is in no way intended to be comprehensive, but only a guide to point you down the path of the home education adventure.

Our goal is not to tell you what is right for your family, because what is right for one family may not be right for another family. We want to come alongside of you and share some of what we have learned and let you take it from there. The journey is worth the time and effort.

It is also very helpful to talk with experienced home educating families to gain insight from them. Check out the Support Group List for contacts in your area.

2) Understand the Home Education Philosophy

Home educating is a completely different way of learning, where the parent takes responsibility for choosing the materials, teaching the lessons, assessing the learning that takes place and providing support and encouragement.

We are interested in teaching our children skills: reading, writing, math, how to do research, and how to use reference books and the library. If they have these basic skills, then they can always acquire knowledge. Do not concentrate on giving them knowledge. There is too much knowledge in the world to have them learn it all. That would be mind-boggling! Give them a love of learning, and it w
