Transport committee  The committee always has the power to review everything pertaining to transportation. That's included in the committee's mandate.

Transport committee  Yes. I should have said for the record, yes.

Transport committee  We have always thought that an SMS should never conflict with other acts that already apply.

Transport committee  There were legal opinions, I believe, and I think this committee sought a legal opinion specifically about this issue here. I got the information that HRSDC themselves said they don't want this and don't think it's necessary. They believe they have full authority with their legis

Transport committee  No. I reassert what I told you. Part I of the Aeronautics Act states this: Except as otherwise provided by this Part, every person who contravenes a provision of this Part or any regulation, notice, order, security measure or emergency direction made under this Part is guilty o

Transport committee  “Il ne peut être fait usage [...]” If you're satisfied with the English, we can have the French completed by the end of the session here.

Transport committee  I understand your idea, Mr. Laframboise. If you want to achieve the desired result, an amendment that might perhaps constitute the subsection (5) would be necessary. If that were the case, and if the government wanted to proceed in that manner, I would suggest that we take a few
