No, it isn't. We would be misguided if we were to think we'd all arrive at that happy place at the same time.
The growth projections we are looking at for Pearson airport would take us to 50 million passengers some time in 2030. Now, at 50 million passengers that is really our airfields at capacity and our terminals at capacity. I think some of you would recall what Terminal 1 used to be like. It's a Gong Show, approaching 60 million passengers, but we could do that.
We have the planning tools in place that allow us to calibrate as we go forward when our next stages of development have to happen. So in fact if we were talking about 3.5 million passengers and assume half of that has dropped off, and we're assuming a growth rate of 3% per year, we can actually factor that in to the planning that we would do for building the facilities.
The question is how much lead time are we actually going to be giving to a project like this, and what is the underpinning policy rationale for doing it? If we're going to try to cobble it together very late in the day and thereby sacrifice the intermodality from both a financial perspective and from a systems perspective, we're going to fail.
My point is, start doing that now. Start looking at what those projections are saying and say we're going to make a commitment to it. I can factor that into my planning, as can Air Canada.
