Mr. Speaker, what happened in Mirabel is one of the biggest frustrations in Quebec's history. Not only did the government expropriate people from some of the finest agricultural land in Quebec, it left major scars and trauma in its wake for an airport project heralded to become Canada's largest international airport, as members will recall. Then Canada decided to centre all of its political and economic decisions in Toronto. Obviously, that impacted airports. In the end, the needs to be served by the large Mirabel airport were ultimately met in Dorval, the site of the international airport.
The supreme irony of all this, and perhaps another reason why we need an apology, is that the other airport was named after the person who led the expropriations in the riding of Mirabel. I think that the Liberal government needs to make some serious apologies on behalf of previous prime ministers.
