Mr. Speaker, I do not think those guys take lessons from anyone, but they should.
Our airports should not be used as cash cows. The government's taxes now account for up to 70% of the total fare. The Conservative government is taking $3 billion more out of airports than it is putting into them. Canadian travellers deserve better.
The government should be standing up for Canadian travellers, our local economies and our aviation industry. Instead, because of high taxes, levies and security charges, it is driving business south of the border.
Why does the government not get on board and help the Canadian aviation industry compete?
