The federal government says it won't support Ontario Premier Doug Ford's plan to expand Billy Bishop Airport to allow jets to take off and land there. Ottawa wont support Billy Bishop Airport expansion plans after public consultation The federal government says it won't support Ontario Premier Doug Ford's plan to expand Billy Bishop Airport to allow jets to take off and land there. In a post on the social media platform X, Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon says the government will focus exclusively on "approved safety enhancements" for the airport and Toronto residents will have a say in future plans for the facility. MacKinnon said the government received more than 87,000 responses to its consultation on the airport, which ended Friday. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said at an unrelated event Saturday that while the province may have taken the land away from the city, the decision on what happens there falls with the federal government. "There's no reason for the province to keep Little Norway Park or the Toronto Islands or Hanlan's Point." Ford said the federal government is on board with Billy Bishop expansion. MacKinnon said the airport is a critical part of Canada's transportation network and that the voice of Torontonians will shape future plans for Billy Bishop.
