There have been some interesting developments on airports. Australia has a private model, private financing. It's something that should be looked at.
We said 35 years ago that airports should be privatized, believe it or not. It could be done with public money as well. The present PPP structures for larger airports have their problems and don't seem to be keeping up with the infrastructure needed and the building that's needed for the increase in air travel that we need in Canada.
As for other supports, I think sneaking in some direct taxpayer support of the airline industry is appropriate. It does benefit all Canadians. Whether you travel on a plane or not, it doesn't matter. Your doctor probably does, and your food probably comes in that way. There are all sorts of other benefits economically to having air connection across the country.
