Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question.
As you know, last December, we tabled Bill C-102 to enhance Canada's duty referral program.
This new legislation provides for the creation of so-called free zones, which are actually free trade zones. Businesses and regions looking to implement very innovative projects may request the designation of such zones. Officials of the Federal Office of Regional Development and of Aéroports de Montréal are currently
considering, in collaboration with Revenue Canada, whether or not a free zone could be created under the new legislation to help the Mirabel area.
