A few years ago, an expert panel was mandated to undertake a complete review of CATSA. The minister at the time had mandated this group of experts to entirely review the Canadian Air Transport Security Act and CATSA operations in order to make recommendations. This panel made many recommendations, a number of which were implemented. Others are underway.
Despite this, the minister said he wanted to once again review the effectiveness of CATSA and have consultations to see what could be done to improve operations. The minister made this announcement last month.
