Another question, Mr. Speaker. Because of the change in our codes, would this restrict us in any way from the size or the number, frequency of planes that would be coming to Berm uda?

Just given the maintenance efficiencies that the new electric fleet is providing, I am just wondering if the Minister might be able to give the public general information about how the electric buses are being able to stay in service longer and how that i s improving or not [improving] the bus schedule?
