Mr. Speaker, my question today will be to the Minister of Transportation, and it refers back to my Member’s statement regarding the airport issue and parking.
It may sound like a silly issue to raise, but this has been a problem over a long time. The fact is that we’re losing probably hundreds of thousands of dollars out there because no one’s charging for any parking whatsoever. That’s the fact. On the one hand, we have budget cuts because we can’t seem to raise enough money. We have to find ways. Yet on the other hand, we’re wasting or foregoing potential revenue that could be going somewhere useful.
My question to the Minister of Transportation is: will he heed my consideration by following up on it and getting rid of this silly machine and use a clipboard and a pencil and a double-check a couple of times a day to manage the parking out there properly and collect revenues? That is really the issue.
