## Resource

The Toronto Port Authority plans a $4-5 billion expansion for Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport over 25 years, aiming to handle future growth. The project is expected to be self-funded through passenger and airline fees, but concerns arise over lack of a business plan, environmental impact studies, and transparency. Premier Doug Fords government supports the expansion, while critics question the projected economic benefits and the need for a solid business case.
