Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport.
For a number of years now, the federal government has been trying to privatize several regional airports. Last December, it also announced its intention to turn over harbour management to
regional bodies. However, the Government of Quebec rightly maintains that several of these harbours and airports are presently in need of extensive repair that could result in costs to the provincial governments.
Can the Minister of Transport assure us that he will respect the opinion of the Government of Quebec in the process of privatizing federal harbours and airports?
