The federal government has said it will not support a plan by Ontario Premier Doug Ford to expand Billy Bishop Airport in Toronto. Transport Minister Steve McKinnon made the announcement, stating that the government will not proceed with the proposal. The decision marks a significant setback for the provincial government's efforts to increase capacity at the airport, which is located on the Toronto Islands and currently serves regional flights. No further details were provided, but the announcement ends any immediate possibility of expanding the airport. The plan had been a key part of Premier Ford's transportation strategy, aiming to boost travel options and economic activity in the Toronto area. However, the federal government's refusal to move forward means the expansion will not happen under the current proposal. More information is expected to be released later.
