Mr. Chair, first let me disagree with my colleague. His question is incorrect.
The Government of Canada invests in airports significantly. In fact, over the last couple of years, we've made close to two billion dollars' worth of investments in infrastructure at airports, either through the airport critical infrastructure program or the airports capital assistance program, or the many other initiatives where the federal government provides support to airports.
However, I'll just say that we are committed to identifying additional ways to provide more resources to airports. We recognize that there's still more that needs to be done to improve the capacity and efficiency of airports. We will work with airport authorities to identify other ways to help them.
I want to be clear. Our government has made significant investments. They are way larger than just the rent payments that were made by our airports.
