Mr. Speaker, when the Liberals were in opposition they were against airport privatization. These days the Liberals have forced airports across Canada to come under local airport authorities, and Toronto's Pearson airport is no exception. Most airport authorities charge a departure tax of $10 and now Pearson airport is no exception to that practice as well.
However, Pearson airport will also charge a $7 connection fee for changing flights at Toronto, and that is a big change. Given that most flights of any distance involve passing through a major transportation link like Toronto, people will have little choice but to pay the extra fee.
Is this the beginning of more fees for the travelling public from a Liberal Party that used to be against these fees on principle?
