We've heard from the airports that they would like to see government move away from the user-pay model and invest in the air sector and invest in air sector infrastructure as a public good.
I've raised questions about investment in the air sector versus other transportation sectors. We've lost bus service in our country. Our passenger rail system not only is a shadow of its former self but also doesn't stack up to what other countries are offering.
I'm curious if moving away from the user-pay model and investing more public money in, for instance, airports can deliver competition and lower prices for consumers. Do we see any evidence of that?
