Jean-Denis Garon Bloc Québécois
“This bill would let the government sell off our airports to private companies, including the Mirabel airport. The federal government took that land unfairly in the past. The airport must stay public to help the local community and the economy. I want to know if my colleague shares my concern.”
“Madam Speaker, I am concerned because under Bill C-39, the government is getting set to privatize our airports. That includes the Mirabel airport. The Mirabel airport was built on land that was expropriated, desecrated and stolen. That came as a result of crimes committed by the federal government, as recognized in a motion recently adopted by the House. This asset should serve the community, remain public and be a tool for economic development. I wonder if my colleague shares my concerns, particularly with regard to the Mirabel airport.”
