Ontario Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria introduced a bill Thursday that would allow the province to take over the City of Toronto’s role in the island airport.
It’s part of a government push for an expansion of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to include jets.
The bill allows the province to assume the City of Toronto’s spot in a tripartite agreement that governs the land, an agreement that is currently between the city, the federal government and the Toronto Port Authority, which is a federal agency.
