Well, that's a disappointing bit of news. It obviously takes away from the ability of this Legislature, and I would think others across Canada, to be able to make good decisions. We are handed a huge bill of goods, given the size of our airport and our population -- $11.2 million -- and we're told pay it. There are good reasons for it -- security -- but I need to be convinced that as part of the Canadian traveling public and under the demand from a federal system, that we're getting as square a deal or perhaps as bad a deal as anybody else in Canada. Mr. Chairman, I'm sort of layering this silence from the CATSA people on top of the difficulty we are having with our own Department of Transportation, which has had, I think by information we have been given, at least nine months to look at this. They are suggesting that up to $6.6 million may be recovered from airport user fees from the traveling public, but we have no idea how. So this program, as rushed as it is deemed to be, I think we've got, what now, Mr. Chairman, 14 months left. Unless we have this stuff built, hey, folks, nobody from the North is going to be able to land anywhere else in Canada. Fourteen months to implement an $11.2 million program that we have so very little detail about.
I'm really uncomfortable with the way this whole package is put together, Mr. Chairman. I have gone over most of my points yesterday so I'm not going to prolong this item, other than to put on the record my deep dissatisfaction with the way this is being put forward to the Legislative Assembly and, of course, ultimately, to the traveling public. It's not acceptable.
