Mr. Speaker, I have spoken with airport officials and he is out to lunch.
We have been asking the minister about this for months. He could have done something about the problem if he wanted to. The people there are taking matters into their own hands and focusing on tourism, because they see it as a promising alternative to offset the difficulties in the forestry industry. Instead of helping them, the minister is telling them to forget about it. Not only will he not help them, but he will also shut down their airport. That is a slap in the face.
Will the minister finally acknowledge what a mess this is and find an immediate solution for the Mont-Tremblant International Airport?
