S. Simpson: The minister has a responsibility to tell British Columbians whether they're going to be on the hook for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars of subsidy to this private company while they continue to pay more to fly on these seaplanes. The minister has that responsibility.

The minister doesn't have to negotiate here. But stand up and tell British Columbians whether you are prepared to negotiate away those hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars of legitimate taxpayer income from this through PavCo. Are you going to negotiate it away — yes or no?
