Madam Speaker, I listened with interest to the comments of the hon. member for Laurentides regarding Mirabel airport and ADM. She was right on track, because there is an obvious similarity between ADM and Nav Canada, as we have been pointing out since this morning, and also in recent days. Both are private corporations with a mandate to provide services to the public. However, privatization has resulted in reduced services to the public. For example, ADM is not concerned by the Access to Information Act, while Nav Canada is not subject to the provisions of the Privacy Act.
I want to ask the hon. member if this is how she sees things, and if she feels ADM's decision should be postponed, considering that it is not accountable to anyone, regardless of the statement to the effect that ADM is free to make its own decisions and is accountable to no one in that regard.
So, my question is: Does the hon. member feel this measure should be postponed? Dorval was supposed to close five years after Mirabel opened. It did not happen because of a lack of political courage, with the result that we now find ourselves in this extremely complicated situation.
Does the hon. member feel, as I do, that this decision should be postponed?
