Thank you, Madam Chair.

I would like to thank our witnesses for being here.

I will begin with a question for Mr. Lavin.

I clearly heard your complaints about high taxes, high rates, and the need to reduce airport rents. The government is considering privatizing airports in order to create capital funding for the Canada Infrastructure Bank. This has not yet been announced, and perhaps it will not be, but it is in the government's plans.

So I would like to ask you the following question. Do you think privatizing our airports would lead to lower rents as compared to the current system?
