Mr. Speaker, Transport Canada is taking a leadership role in addressing this issue. We are working closely with stakeholders. We hope to have policies and procedures in place this summer. We are working with airlines and police organizations.
The Alliance members may laugh but air rage is no laughing matter. We will be distributing a booklet in the next little while entitled “Unruly Passengers: The Police Response”. Also we took an interim measure, which became effective on March 17, requiring cockpit doors to be locked during a flight when an incident or threat to flight safety arises due to unruly or abusive behaviour.
