Mr. Speaker, day in and day out, airports across Canada go above and beyond to ensure the safe and secure travel of passengers. Our airports not only help Canadians reunite with loved ones, visit family and go on vacation, but also support our economy in vital ways. With over 200,000 direct airport employees across the country, airports play a critical role in strengthening our supply chains and fostering national growth.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the airport authorities who were with us in Ottawa this past week for their hard work as well as their dedication. We continue to recognize and appreciate the significant impact that airports and their workers have on our communities, from coast to coast to coast.
