Description
On December 13, 1995, a Special Senate Committee established to examine the agreements leading to the lease of Pearson International Airoport and the subsequent cancellation of the lease presented its final report, including a minority opinion and a study of certain procedural issues. This article looks at the Committee's experience in summoning witnesses and taking testimony under oath. In March 1992 the Conservative Government of Brian Mulroney called for proposals to redevelop Terminals 1 and 2 at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. Two submissions were considered and on December 7, 1992 Paxport Inc. was judged to have the best overall acceptable proposal. The Government had concerns about the financeability of the 700 million dollar project so Paxport joined with the other bidder, Claridge Properties, to form the Pearson Development Corporation in early 1993. Several months of negotiations between the Government and Pearson Development Corporation followed until leases and other agreements were signed. Meanwhile, a federal election was called on September 8, 1993. On October 2, Prime Minister Kim Campbell gave authority to go ahead and close the deal.
