Mr. Speaker, we are concerned about the happiness of the people in British Columbia. We have chosen Vancouver as the location for the big APEC meeting that will be held in November.
If there is any place in Canada that has benefited from the open skies policy it is the Vancouver airport. There will be 8,000 more flights coming into Vancouver during the next year due to the opening up of Vancouver and British Columbia to the Pacific. The reason we have made this year the year of the Asia-Pacific is Canadians know that the gate to the Asia-Pacific for our country is Vancouver and British Columbia.
