The Doug Ford government is set to introduce legislation to take over land from the City of Toronto to expand Billy Bishop Airport.“We’re unlocking Billy Bishop Airport’s full potential by expanding the airport so we can bring cheaper flight options, more routes and more convenience to the millions of people from across Ontario who use this airport every year,” Ford stated in a release on Monday.“With an upgraded airport on the waterfront, Toronto and Ontario will be able to compete with world-class cities across the globe, supporting tourism and business travel across Ontario and creating thousands of new jobs for Ontario workers.”Earlier this month, Ford said his government would take over the City involvement with the airport property amid a push for expansion and to allow jets.Currently, a tripartite agreement involving the Toronto Port Authority (which owns 78 per cent of the land), the City of Toronto (which owns around 20 per cent of the land) and the Government of Canada (which owns around two per cent of the land) governs the property on which Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is located. The deal was originally signed in 1983.More to comeWith files from Nick Westoll, CityNews
