One of the concerns," Morrison said, "is that privately run airports owe most of their loyalty to their shareholders, and those shareholders, what they care about most are profits and the values of the shares.

They care less about regional economic benefits or benefits to the local economy." Adam Radwanski, business columnist for The Star, writes that, "The broader worry is around sovereignty.

If Carney really wants privatization's cash infusion to reinvest in things like smaller airports, as he suggested, he shouldn't have too much trouble getting it from domestic sources.

This is one type of investment Canadian pension giants have long clamored to have opened up to them." Well, that's right.

Three or so weeks, of course, since trade talks with the U.S., And it's really turned this summit into something of a much bigger deal, I think it's fair to say, than perhaps it was when the Prime Minister conceived it and announced it back in the spring.

Now, on Friday, I spoke to Adam Radwanski.

He's a business columnist at the Toronto Star newspaper.

And I met him in a park, so you might hear some background noise near the Toronto Star's newsroom in downtown Toronto.

It hasn't really been necessarily in building new things.

And I think the hope here, certainly reflected in the perspectives they distributed, which is entirely in this vein, is to bring in a lot more project financing to build things up more and to make the economy more resilient and ideally even stronger for this experience.

That's Adam Radwanski of the Toronto Star there and still with me, Thomas Lewis.

Thomas, the project's being pitched to investors, primarily in the energy sectors, but also ports, high-speed rail, advanced manufacturing.

Canada wants the world to know that it's open for business, and investors from around the world are hearing why this country is a great place to put their money.

Will the investment summit be enough to buffer the economy from a trade war in mounting tariffs? For some insight, we have Najoud Al-Maliz, Adam Radwanski, and Rob Russo.

Hello to you all.

Good morning.

My pleasure.

Airports not on agenda for $1 trillion summit, files show.

This is by Adam Radwanski.

Oil pipelines, nuclear build-outs, mines, and data centers will anchor Mark Carney's pitch at next week's elite gathering of foreign investors in Toronto.

But he may not be offering up Canada's airports, at least for now, based on a list of potential investments that the government began distributing to selected investment summit attendees on Wednesday.
