(Yorkâ€" Scarborough): Mr. Speaker, 1 want to speak very briefly toâ€" night about the problem of transportation from Toronto Inâ€" ternational Airport. The» hon. member for York â€" Humber (Ralph Cowan) raised this probâ€" lem on June 11 and spoke of the monopoly situation that exists. He pointed out that this contract, involving _ some _ $1,800.000 _ of gross revenue, was let without tender for a period of 10 years and was entered into by the preâ€" vious government in 1960. On June 22 in reply to question No. 1.304 the Minister of Transport set out the justification for this monopoly and, as found on page 4541 of Hansard, the answer reads in part as follows: They are required to proâ€" vide modern equipment, to carry public liability insurâ€" ance, and provide uniformed employees. All of this reâ€" quires a very heavy capital investment on the part of the company, and to maintain such an investment it is neâ€" cessary that the company be given_exclusive rights to the passenger traffic offerings at the airport. To permit unreâ€" stricted competition from taxis would make the whole operation â€" economically _ unâ€" sound. Without granting the, company exclusive rights, it would be impossible to proâ€" . vide the type of service reâ€" | quired by the travelling pubâ€" lie. . I. want to ask the mainister if Last month York â€" Humber M.P., Raiph Cowan, charged that Air Terminal Transport Ltd. was granted a ‘*monopoly‘ charter to operate a taxi serâ€" vice within Toronto internaâ€" tional and Dorval Airports. He said the Department of Transport had not called tenâ€" ders in issuing the company a franchise and that Toronto taxiâ€"cab operators were opposâ€" ed to a "monopoly operation in the city of Toronto at Malâ€" ton airport." Recently York â€" Scarborough MP.. M. J. Moreau, again raised the issue, referring to Mr. Cowâ€" an‘s address. In answer Transport Minister Pickersgil! promised his governâ€" ment would give the subject a thorough study but would take no responsibility for the ‘$1,800,â€" 000 monopoly‘ since it was transâ€" acted by the former government.

They could make a pickâ€"up at the Cedarbrae shopping plaza at Markham road and Lawrence avenue, make an intervening stop at Don Mills shopping plaza at Lawrence and Don Mills road I am one of those who live in the east end of Toronto and it costs me some $9.75 to travel to my home by means of this service to the travelling public. If I am to take the limousine service from the Royal York I am still a 40 minute drive away from that hotel which involves a $5.50 or $6 cab fare. On the other hand, I am only a 40â€"minâ€" ute drive from the airport if it were possible to travel by highâ€" way 401. those are his words, his concluâ€" sions, or if they are the words of some official in his departâ€" ment because 1 should like to know on just what basis these conclusions were reached. What sort of survey or report resulted in this sort of conclusion? Perâ€" sonally 1 do not accept this anâ€" swer in view of the size of the business tody at Malton airport. It might have been true 10 or 15 years ago but certainly anyâ€" one who has spent any time at Toronto international _ airport, particularly since the new terâ€" minal building has been opened, would not accept that answer.

I suggest that what we have here is an exclu~ sive franchise to operate a bus line between Toronto internaâ€" tional airport and the Royal York hotel which enjoys the benefit of a captive public who are required to use the vehicles provided by Air Terminal Transâ€" port Limited. member for Yorkâ€"Humber (Mr. Cowan) has told me about a conâ€" stitutent, Mr. Charles Ring, who lives in Mimico, which is on the route that the bus traveis. He is required to travel to the Royal York and then struggle back home on the streetcar. This man is 88 years old. I suggest that what we have here is an exclu~ sive franchise to operate a bus If we are to accept this monoâ€" poly until the expiry of the conâ€" tract in 1970, I want to ask the minister if he will at least treat Scarborough as a separate comâ€" munity outside of ihe present contract. 1 say this because the monopoly which was set up to give a service required by the travelling public, to use the words in the answer to the quesâ€" tion, does nothing to give service to the 350,000 people who live in the east and north sections of Toronto. The bus service now available travels down highway 27 and along the Gardiner expressway to the Royal York hotel without any intervening stops. The hon. member for Yorkâ€"Humber (Mr. $3025. gest to the minister that, as I said, there are about 350,000 people who need this sort of service. There are 60,000 people who live inside the metropolitan Toronto boundary and who are still living east of where I am There are 60,000 people who live north of Lawrence avenue. I suggest that this is certainly a large enough public to require this kind of service and then travel by highway 401 out to the airport. The trip could be made in 40 minutes and I «m sure the fare would not have to be any more than $2. I sugâ€" BREAD 24â€"0%.

I think that the first thing of which we have to be sure is that there is goâ€" ing to be some form of transporâ€" tation at the airport, whenever aircraft arrive, for those people who are not residents of Toronto bu& are coming to Toronto from some other place.
