Introduction

The Canadian government wants to change how it owns airports. They might sell the airports to private companies.

Main Body

The government owns many big airports. Now, non-profit groups run them. The government wants more money to help the country grow. Some people like this idea. They say private companies have more money to fix the airports. This makes the airports better. Other people are worried. They say tickets will cost more money. They remember Australia. In Australia, private airports became very expensive. Some leaders say the old way is better. They say the money should stay in the airports and not go to rich owners.

Conclusion

The government is now studying the laws to see if they should change the airports.
