—how many Ontarians are content to pay more in something else to basically offset these costs.
I'm not challenging this. I'm not suggesting that you get your beggar's bowl out. I think what would really be necessary is to do a more fulsome overview of the economic impact, the ripple effect or the multiplier effect of what the airport provides, in terms of both the actual value of services and the social and environmental aspects. You're not just looking for a reduction in fees, etc., but you're also looking for greater investments in supporting infrastructure and everything else. I think you can make a case, if the net benefit or value is there.
To do that, we might need to know a bit more about.... I asked one of the earlier witnesses whether they had done an origin and designation study of the truck traffic coming in and out of the particular region. The same goes for you. Where is this going? Is your airport, in fact, geographically positioned to be the most efficient, or are there other efficiencies that can be driven out of that system as well? That goes beyond your cost structure and everything else, but, again, looking at it holistically, what is the greatest benefit to the region and to all of Canada?
In metro Vancouver, where I'm from, the airport there, YVR, has been extremely aggressive, investing in rapid transit, for instance, to get people to and from the airport without having to drive. They've opened up quite a large outlet mall because they have the land available to do that. Are these the sort of things that are in the cards or on the radar for Hamilton?
