Mr. Speaker, the town of Collingwood and I are working hard to establish the Collingwood regional airport as a port of entry. It is key to both industry and tourism in Simcoe--Grey.
I wrote the minister in 2004, my staff have left several messages and I wrote the minister again on September 8 and still no response.
An email from a predecessor's office stated:
The decision to bring customs service to Collingwood will be strictly political.
It is the minister's decision. Will Collingwood airport get custom facilities, yes or no?
