Poll finds some support for private airport operators, but more than a quarter unsure
OTTAWA — A new poll suggests a large number of Canadians support the government's idea of putting private operators in charge of the largest airports — but more than a quarter aren't sure about it.
A recent poll reveals that a significant portion of Canadians support the government's proposal to hand over the management of the major airports to private operators, although more than a quarter of respondents remain uncertain about the idea. According to the Leger poll, 43% of Canadians favor the concept for the airports in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Vancouver, while 31% oppose it. However, 27% of the respondents indicated they were unsure or unaware of the proposal.
The poll suggests that Quebec residents are the most supportive of the proposal, while those in Saskatchewan and Manitoba are the most opposed. Leger conducted the survey of 1,533 Canadians between September 19 and 21, but it cannot provide a margin of error as the poll was carried out online. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced at an investment summit in Toronto that he is seeking private investors to take control of the operations of the country's four largest airports.
