Mr. Speaker, when Navigation Canada was privatized the minister promised there would be no reduction in services.
However, Yukon's only air traffic control tower will be closed down because of this privatization. This will throw all of the employees out of work, as well leave travellers and air traffic workers vulnerable to accidents.
In one way or another, this Liberal government has reduced basic services to the north, such as flood watch warnings. The weather control station is no longer with us. The stay in school initiative has been discontinued and now the air traffic control tower will be closed down.
I would like to let the government know that we want it back.
