“While there may be some appreciation of our northern issues, we have to live this reality. We do not have a road system”
Municipal and territorial governments remain concerned following the release of a Competition Bureau investigation that failed to find sufficient evidence for anti-competitive behaviour at Nunavut’s two biggest airlines.
That much is apparent after a pair of telephone conferences that the Competition Bureau held with the Government of Nunavut and City of Iqaluit to discuss its report, which was released online Aug. 22.
The city and GN filed formal complaints with the bureau against Nunavut’s three main airlines as early as 2015, citing decreases in passenger service, frequent cargo delays and botched medical travel arising from a series of codesharing and service deals between the companies.
