Mr. Speaker, the Greater Moncton International Airport serves over half a million customers.
Today, many Atlantic airports are refusing international carriers as the Canada Border Services Agency refuses to extend the hours of customs operations.
The only culture of defeat, to use the Prime Minister's own words about our region is the one that is coming from the Conservative cabinet table.
Why does the Minister of Public Safety refuse to recognize the importance of maritime and Atlantic Canadian airports to the economy and when will he fix this problem?
