Mr. Speaker, the hon. member knows from his experience with the transport committee how important the policy of local airport authority and privatization of local airports is to the government. He knows that many communities other than Toronto are also engaged in a process of negotiation with the federal government to follow on the example of other cities that have taken local control of their own airports. This is a policy that enables local communities not only to improve their own airports but to take responsibility for ensuring that they use them as economic development tools. That is something that will benefit the travellers, the businesses of the
Toronto area, as it will, I hope, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Halifax, and the other airport cities that are engaged in these negotiations.
