Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has claimed in the past that failure to pass Bill C-22 has inhibited its ability to resolve the problem. The truth is it has no plan.
The current Liberal course of action is costing 4,700 jobs, $72 million in tax revenues, leaves Pearson with a potential passenger shortfall of two million passengers a year, and has caused Air Canada to look at a $525 million expenditure, which it can ill afford, to prop up its operation in terminal two. The government still has not provided any kind of plan.
Will the government not agree this is nothing more than an attempt to get out of a mess that is ever worsening, particularly in light of the Prime Minister's former law partner softening his refutal of the accusations that have been made?
