“The Liberals want to sell off our ports and airports. When Britain did this, costs went up, service got worse, and foreign governments bought major shares. Has the government checked the national security risks of foreign powers owning our key infrastructure?”
“Mr. Chair, Liberals are planning to sell off Canada’s ports and airports. When the U.K. privatized Heathrow, costs skyrocketed and service declined. Today, the governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and China control major stakes in that airport. Has the government conducted a full national security review of the risks posed by foreign and state-linked entities acquiring ownership of Canada’s strategic infrastructure?”
