Transport Canada is basing its response on two assumptions, that the question was addressed to expenditures within provinces, and not to provincial governments specifically, and recognizing that the programs were not designed by province.
Given that the word “compensation” is very broad, Transport Canada advises as follows regarding grants in the FY 2001-02 to Canadian airlines and specialty air operators, as payments of financial assistance in respect to losses incurred due to the temporary closure of Canadian air space as determined by the Minister of Transport. The program existed only for FY 2001-02.
