That's a good point?  Being proactive, not expecting federal funding?

From Toronto:
Quote:Construction on Pier F began in mid-2004 and took place as the old
Terminal 1 was demolished. A small portion of Terminal 2 was also demolished
to allow for construction of Pier F. The total budget for Pier F, associated
demolition and apron construction work was $800-million. The budget for the
entire Airport Development Program was $4.5-billion, which was completed on
time and on-budget without any government funding.

In general, I don't think the federal government is funding airport development any more.
