As I told my colleague earlier, I was surprised to learn that Canada's Minister of Transport didn't have quick access to this kind of data. When we asked for such data, we saw that there was fantastic co-operation from airport authorities.
However, to adopt a solid approach that uses both the belt and suspenders, we thought it would be a good idea to clarify that. The Minister of Transport is entitled to such information, if only to analyze operations and the flow of air transportation in Canada. That's why we included it in the bill.
Obviously, our intentions are just as transparent. We're looking at the possibility of privatization. Canadians are the owners of these facilities, and they have a right to potentially maximize their investments in these facilities and benefit in another way from the possible outcomes.
We're at a very preliminary stage of the review. As I said to my colleague from the Bloc Québécois, we anticipate that each facility or piece of infrastructure will have a tailored solution, since each one is unique. It will take time to analyze all the operations concerned, but we're at the very beginning of this process, and we're very eager to get started.
