How does Canada’s Crown Rent system at airports impact the business?
I have told everybody that I can from the Minister on down that this indirect tax must be abolished. There is no similar tax for the train system. And we get absolutely nothing for the $276 million (CAD300 million) that the government collects. The airports feel the same way. At the end of the long-term leases, everything, including the multi-billion dollar airport infrastructure improvements paid for largely by air carriers and their customers, will revert back to the Crown.
