Mr. Speaker, there will come a point when the entire Pearson mess will crash and Canadians will be left to pick up the pieces of the wreckage. It is a sad day in Canadian history when patronage heaven decides to clear the stench over Pearson with Tory and Liberal hacks investigating a patronage affair.
Accusations fly between the two while the airport remains in a holding pattern. Canada's most important piece of infrastructure continues to deteriorate.
Reformers called for an impartial judicial inquiry over a year ago. Canadian taxpayers, as always, are stuck with the cheque and they want some answers. Instead, a year has passed and the Liberal government provides Canadians with a partial, patronage based inquiry without a single elected official, members of the family compact investigating members of the family compact.
Canadians deserve better government than this. It is time to rebuild; it is time to reform. We must not delay the development of Pearson, the crown jewel of our transportation system.
