Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today to present a petition signed by over 400 residents in Calgary.
The petitioners call on the House to protect taxi drivers and consumers at Calgary International Airport. Moving to a single taxi contract would create a monopoly, kill competition and remove consumer choice. It would not only hurt consumers but would also hurt the families of hard-working small business people.
The petitioners seek to defend their community from the unilateral actions of the Calgary Airport Authority.
