I certainly agree with the Minister in terms of maybe I was somewhat narrow-minded on it happening only in small communities. I do agree with the Minister that this happens at all airports no matter how well your security systems are, if there is any type of security system. I do look forward to seeing if the Minister can work with the hamlets or the communities in terms of having an extra drive-by at the airports to make sure that
some of the vehicles are there. Sometimes it’s very difficult because you don’t have the resources to have a 24/7 type of security system, but if there’s any way that the department can work with the communities and work with the hamlets, the bylaw officers or the RCMP to look at this and also make the passengers aware that when leave their vehicles at the airport that there’s a big sign that says park at your own risk and have some safety measures be put in place that they are well aware of.
One issue that certainly requires other agencies to ensure that the vehicles at the airports are respected in terms of those who have to park their vehicles for some reason at the airport, I appreciate the Minister’s comments. I guess it has to be through the safety at the airports to see if there are other ways that they could make it a safe place where passengers can at least park their vehicles for a night or two without worrying that it’s going to be damaged when they come back to their community.
