Pearson exists and is successful because of Toronto. The business parks surrounding Pearson are successful because of Toronto. If Toronto was not the biggest city in the country - if Toronto was the size of London or Hamilton - Mississauga would not exist.

These places are successful because of Toronto, not the other way around. I promise you that Toronto did not become successful as a city because they serviced a bunch of land at the airport to attract businesses. They serviced the land there to meet the demands of businesses who wanted to locate near a great city.

We have no such demand now. When we do, we can talk about expansion. Hell, I'll be happy to adjust my position if we can fill the empty business park that we've already built at YHM. Just fill that one.

When we have a successful core, and a successful city, we can talk about leveraging the space around us.

Building the aegd now is putting the cart so far in front of the horse that the horse isn't even born yet.

Let's ask another question - who owns the land up there?
