Mr. Speaker, I certainly agree with the hon. member that Pearson has enormous economic importance, not just to the greater Toronto area but to Canada as a whole.
The question we must face and that I want to address in response to my hon. friend's question is that in the short term we have announced there will be no new construction this year. We
are going to complete the construction that was begun last year under a quick start project.
I want to emphasize that we intend to listen to members of Parliament from the greater Toronto area. We intend to listen to the leaders of the municipalities, the city of Toronto and other communities in that area to make sure that when we do something at Pearson we do the right thing.
