“Canadian pension funds already run airports in other countries. I want them to invest in Canadian airports too, so Canadians get the benefits.”
“Mr. Speaker, if we take a look around the world, what do we see? Canadians’ pension funds, including funds such as the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, are not only investing but they are also operating airports in Australia, Asia and across Europe. We believe that, since Canada is lagging behind in this area, it is high time that our pension funds are brought home and invested in our airports. That way, this expertise benefits Canadians.”
