The financial industry in all its forms – and those businesses dependent on it – is the single largest business activity in Toronto and it is centered in our downtown core.

A visiting planner from New York City – when asked to comment on our waterfront – responded that we had something he wished New York had: a downtown airport.

I have strongly supported the island airport and a bridge or an underground pedestrian tunnel to it.

The future vitality of our downtown business community will be dependent on the ability of its members – and those of the cities within a 1000 mile radius – to get in and out of the city core quickly and conveniently.
