Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
kelowna
lake
country-
thank
you,
honourable
speaker.
As
mlas.
We
are
no
stranger
to
airports.
Many
of
us
probably
visited
one
this
past
weekend
for
many
an
airport
is
a
simple
and
necessary
stop
on
a
long
journey
either
for
work
or
to
see
friends
and
family
or
to
take
a
vacation.
But
the
value
of
airports
for
our
communities
cannot
be
understated.
A
Airports
serve
crucial
purposes
that
keep
our
province
and
our
nation
interconnected.
They
serve
as
the
first
impression
of
our
communities
for
many
who
take
their
first
steps
into
our
home
towns
and
they
serve
as
key
economic
drivers,
supporting
thousands
of
jobs
and
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
in
economic
output
for
our
towns
and
province.
A
I
hope
my
statement
today
serves
not
only
as
some
recognition
and
gratitude
for
the
thousands
of
staff
at
ylw
and
airports
across
bc
who
have
kept
them
running
throughout
this
incredible
challenge
of
kova
19,
but
also
serves
as
a
call
to
action
for
this
house
and
all
members
to
do
whatever
they
can
to
convince
our
federal
authorities
to
reinstate
international
status
to
the
okanagans
airport
as
soon
as
possible.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,.
