I welcome Mr. Walsh to the committee. I thank his organisation for its engagement, particularly during the pandemic when aviation was one of the primary focuses of the pandemic's impact. The engagement with his organisation was very helpful in giving us information to use in this committee and elsewhere. That is appreciated.

The rebounding of aviation this year has been deemed successful and quick. Did Mr. Walsh's organisation predict that? Some airlines have said they were prepared for it but that airports were not. There was a bit of back and forward there. Did Mr. Walsh predict this?
