Transport committee  Madam Chair and committee members, good morning. I'm Hillary Marshall, vice-president of stakeholder relations and communications for the GTAA. With me is Robyn Connelly, the director of community relations—her office manages noise programs—and Mike Belanger, director of aviatio

Transport committee  Thanks for your question. We undertook extensive consultation and engaged with government officials in the process.

Transport committee  The consultation documents are posted on our website, and we'd be happy to provide a link to that website. It's fully recorded.

Transport committee  I'd have to go back through the documents, but Transport Canada approved the change, so—

Transport committee  Yes, I'd be happy to.

Transport committee  I think what you'll find is that in the coming months we'll be coming forward with a new proposal for CENAC. We've looked at other airports internationally, as I indicated, to understand how they've approached it, and found some great initiatives in terms of industry partnerships

Transport committee  Yes.

We have five runways, and we are able to operate them in such a way that, as planes get larger and they're carrying more passengers, the number of passengers coming through the

Transport committee  Right now, our master plan calls for us to reach about 85 million passengers by 2037.

Transport committee  I'll go back and point out that we have communicated to our CENAC committee and members of the public that we are undertaking a study of our night flight operations.

Transport committee  There are examples of airports that operate as systems around the world. Today, Toronto Pearson operates within a voluntary network of airports. There are 11 airports in southern Ontario that work together. That is not a mandate; it's not regulated in any fashion, but it is a col
