It's just a coincidence that they are big-time Liberal donors, organizers and failed candidates. Okay.
The federal government collects about $300 million in lease payments from airport authorities. The airport authorities asked for those monies to be returned to them so they could make significant infrastructure upgrades to prevent things that impact passengers. For instance, we had a baggage belt go down in Toronto Pearson, which affected thousands of passengers.
However, you chose to keep that money in Ottawa and not return those payments to the airports, which will result in higher airport improvement fees to make those infrastructure upgrades. That will result, again, as with the surcharge that the budget has for security, in higher fees for Canadian consumers who are trying to book flights.
Why did you choose to keep that money in Ottawa instead of returning it to the airports so that they could make investments that will benefit the travelling public?
