| GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE –Mayor Malcolm D. Brodie, Chair |
|
| 26. | YVR’s REQUEST FOR UBCM RESOLUTIONS SUPPORT (File Ref. No.:) | |
| CNCL-47 |
| GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION (Opposed: Cllrs. S. Halsey-Brandt and Steves | |
|
|
| That the following resolution as presented in the letter dated June 18, 2010 from YVR’s Senior Vice President Marking and Business Development, entitled “Elimination of Provincial Fuel Tax on International Passenger Flights” be supported: | |
|
|
|
| WHEREAS local airports and communities recognize and appreciate that the Province eliminated fuel taxes on international cargo operations, and that the carbon tax is not applicable to international flights; |
|
|
|
| AND WHEREAS other provincial jurisdictions have eliminated fuel tax on international flights, placing them in a more competitive position to significantly enhance new opportunities and gain new business; |
|
|
|
| THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Government of British Columbia eliminate the fuel tax on all international passenger flights, which would cost the government approximately $20 million annually in forfeited revenue but the growth in international travel would quickly offset this amount and generate a net increase in government’s overall revenues, as well as supporting economic development in airport communities and improving BC’s international connectivity, building a base for future growth. |
|

|
| 27. | YVR’s REQUEST FOR UBCM RESOLUTIONS SUPPORT (File Ref. No.:) | |
| CNCL-47 |
| GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION (Opposed: Cllr. Steves | |
|
|
| That the following resolution as presented in the letter dated June 18, 2010 from YVR’s Senior Vice President Marking and Business Development, entitled “Provincial Support for Airport Marketing Programs” be supported: | |
|
|
|
| WHEREAS local communities across British Columbia recognize their airports are a significant economic generator but there is no systematic marketing effort for our airports; |
|
|
|
| AND WHEREAS recent changes in international agreements will facilitate travel from Asia and the recovering world economy will stimulate new route planning by airlines, and the World Route Development Forum held in Vancouver in September 2010 – in North America for the first time – will give the province additional profile among airlines and travel planners; |
|
|
|
| THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Province of British Columbia work with BC airports to create an air service marketing program that would generate awareness of what our province has to offer, leverage financial resources and initiate a greater sharing of information among partners to help improve BC’s marketing, and increase international and transborder flights to BC. Such a program, involving the Province, BC Airports and regional economic development agencies, would include promoting British Columbia as Canada’s gateway between North America and Asia for air travelers and air cargo, as well as identifying specific target markets in the US and Europe and appropriate promotional materials. |
