Mr. Speaker, the Aéroports de Montréal ended 2004 with a net loss of $10.3 million. Its revenues increased 15% between 2003 and 2004, but the rent that Aéroports de Montréal has to pay Ottawa increased by 306% over the same period. The incredible increase in rent is threatening the future of the airport closest to where the Minister of Transport lives.
My question is for the Minister of Transport: will he, yes or no, lower these unjustifiable rents?
