Carney Has Not Formed Opinion on Ford's Island Airport Expansion Vision in Toronto
The province says the airport could handle 10 million passengers a year and cost up to $5 billion over 25 years.
- Last week, Ontario passed the Building Billy Bishop Airport Act, enabling the province to assume the city's governance role in the tripartite agreement with the federal government and the Toronto Port Authority.
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford champions the proposed expansion as a 'crown jewel' for the waterfront, estimating the project could cost up to $5-billion over 25 years and boost the economy.
- Liberal MP Judy Sgro stated she is 'absolutely' concerned about traffic chaos, while provincial opposition parties argue the expansion ignores the democratic will of city residents.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney has not formed an opinion on the expansion, stating he will wait for broad consultations to conclude before deciding on the proposed development.
- With no formal plan currently presented, federal Liberal MPs remain cautious, while some provincial legislators plan to take their message to Ottawa next week to discuss the way forward.
