on tsn and tsn+ [ ] >>> Governments of all level really do need to work together to address the policies that are keeping people in poverty. >> Warning the country food bank systems could soon fail. >>> Westjet calls for a federal review of the way airports are funded, claiming the model is driving up the cost to their travel. >>> This is an important day. >> Historic recognition, ireland, norway, and spain plan to formally recognize a palestinian state. Hello, welcome for joining us. Some sobering numbers when it comes to food insecurity in canada. Food bank canada warning in its annual poverty report cards that we've reached a critical point as poverty and food security worsens in over part of the country. Overall grade of d minus. Only nova scotia and prince edward island managed to improve their overall grade, while the rest of the country remained stagnant or got worse. >> People are struggling to afford the basics, including food and shelter. We are calling for governments to work collectively to address the issues on a policy level. Community is doing as much as it can in terms of being generous and contributing what it can to help people. But certainly governments from all levels really do need to work together to address the policies that are keeping people in poverty. >> Digging deeper, the report found more than 44% of people are feeling worse off when compared to last year. The percentage of people paying more than 30% of their income on housing 43.6% in 2024. Westjet is calling for a full federal government review of the way airports are funded in canada. Canada's major airports operated on federally owned land and must pay rent to the government. Part of those costs get passed on to consumers, extra fees charged on their tickets. Westjet said these drive up the cost of flying in canada and is calling on ottawa to stop collecting rent. Joining me today to discuss, coordinator of the global aviation leadership program at McGILL university. John, what's your take on this? Do you think the aviation funding model needs to be reviewed? >> Yes. And we've made it clear in a few of our academics, met with the transportation committee at the house of commons a couple weeks ago. I think we were pretty unanimous in saying we need to review this. Because the system really has lived beyond its usefulness. Covid has done a number in terms of the financial status of canadian airports. And there has to be review in terms of how airports are being funned and how they're going to fund future expansion. >> And what do you expect a potential review to look at. >> Right now we're in a user pay model. Everyone has been saying it's broken. Not the way we should be looking at it. I think alexis, westjet is looking at it saying he wants to have these charges removed because he wants fares to be able to go lower. If you remove those charges from the canadian travelling public, somebody has to backfill those revenues generated by those fees. And unfortunately, the remedy for that would be it will be all of canadian taxpairs rather than just air travellers will be funding airports. I'm not sure we're ready to take on that challenge just yet. >> You touched on the revenue this brings in. What sort of revenue does this bring for the government and does it go back to maintaining the airports? >> The airport improvement fees are fees you pay at each airport. That money stays with the airport. And that's used for the most part to fund the capital needs of the airports. The other fees that are there, whether air traffic control, some of the other operational fees, stay with the government. But the big number is the rent that's being paid by the airports to the government. And over about 500 million dollars a year. And that rent, unfortunately, is being thrown back into general

revenues. The airlines, airports, would like to see that rent pay show up back in the airports as an investment by the federal government to improve this state of the airport situation. >> How likely do you think the government is to take this request seriously? >> I think they're starting. We've got a review about the state of competition and impact of these fees. And that's starting shortly. The government looking at financing models. Looking at having additional sovereign funds, invest in airports, and make it easier for those funds investing overseas. There is some intention. Whether the government is ready and willing to start looking at user pay as a concept and to review alternative pay, there's no indication that the government's ready to talk about that one just yet. >> Westjet also announced it will introduce lowest fee for passengers willing to forego a carry on bag. Do you think that's a smart business model and option passengers are likely to take up? >> Everyone's going to want a cheaper fare. What we see happening are these additional fees that are showing up left, right, and centre. This is not unheard of. Airlines are trying to peel back the onion and make some of the services that you expect in a ticket, roll them back and make them optional and having additional revenues. This is just another attempt by westjet to look at so-called an -- junk fees. Add another level of structures on top of what they charge as a ticket. So it really is an attempt by the airlines that segment their travelling public to various buckets. They're looking to charge those additional fees. >> Thank you so much for your time today. Program coordinator of the global aviation leadership program at McGILL university, john gradek.

The two other victims were 15-year-old boy and 23-year-old man. He says his son leaves behind a 2-year-old daughter. Montreal police say about 15 people were involved in the violent altercation that led to the fatal stabbing.

Announcing a move away from shs enforcement. >> Reporter: instead of clearing homeless encampments, a new city of toronto report says a human based approach. >> The clearing, it's not a strategy that works. Ish. Most people from one place, and to go where? >>. >> Reporter: this is what the area is like now. The city says with a lack of mental health care, high rent costs, more people are struggling on the streets. Using more outreach workers, more people will find housing and -- removing encampments will not be a priority. >> There are situations where there's a safety hazard. A fire, where they've made the -- the protocol may require that a notice fur for remove. But that's laid out. The pressure on the shelter assumes are huge. A situation that led many new arrivals to stay in church basins last summer. >> What is differently -- the establishment of a regional reception centre. Something that city council has long asked for as well as our community partners. >> Two women here say outreach workers are trying and people are filling out the paperwork to move on. >> Or they never take you to see the place, or give auto day to check it out if you want to. >> Reporter: the city says the gentle approach has been successful at alan garden. Last july, 84 encampments. Now just 9. This outreach worker is disappointed. >> Years ago said people need safety sources. But none of the protocols recommends any that.
