Transport committee Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, committee members. I'm joining you today from Vancouver International Airport, which is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Musqueam Indian Band. Before I begin, I'd like to pay my respect to elders past and present. I'm

Transport committee Thank you, MP Rood. We're very excited to welcome them back to Canada and to YVR. It's important to acknowledge for the committee that YVR did not experience the significant impacts we saw at other airports across Canada. To a certain degree, that was because of the way air tra

Transport committee I agree with everything that both Martin and Carmelle said, so I won't add anything further on that side. On the staffing issue, again, that's an area that we are watching closely in our operation. Even before the pandemic hit, we saw a lot of movement of labour because of subpa

Transport committee That was not YVR's experience, Mr. Jeneroux. Our experience was that we had delays that were results of knock-on impacts from other parts of the aviation sector, not just in Canada but around the world. That was our experience.

Transport committee Mr. Jeneroux, I'd ask you to be a bit more specific. I'm not quite sure which instance you're talking about.
September 28th, 2022Committee meeting
Trevor Boudreau
Transport committee Mr. Jeneroux, I think you're speaking about the Sunday in August when we experienced some delays with CATSA screening when they had a bit of a labour shortage. They had a large volume of workers who had unexpectedly booked the day off. That caused a pretty significant disruption

Transport committee If Martin and Carmelle are okay with it, maybe I'll start the answer. I see a couple of nods. Thank you. Thank you for your question. Indeed, we saw the largest increase in passenger volumes in our 90-year history here at YVR in the span of a number of months. We grew from som

Transport committee Here in metro Vancouver, the living wage is $20.52 an hour, which encapsulates both your wages and your benefits. Our living wage policy ensures that, at the very least, all direct airport employees, as well as the service providers we directly contract, are paid a living wage.

Trevor Boudreau
Transport committee Thank you for the question. I'm going to answer in English, which is my first language. I talked a lot about the digital platform that we developed here at YVR. That was an investment of $4.5 million over the last couple of years. To put that into context, ahead of the pandemic

Transport committee Our conversations and communications with both senior departmental staff and the minister's office are strong. In fact, the minister was out here in July to tour our facility with my CEO.

International Trade committee Thank you, Madam Chair. Good morning, everyone. I'm grateful to be joining you today from my office here at YVR, which is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Musqueam people. I pay my respects to elders past and present. On behalf of the Vancouver Airport A

International Trade committee Thanks for the question. It's funny; I was thinking that too. I always remember being on a plane and fumbling for a pen or trying to ask a neighbour if I can get a pen to try to fill out those cards. I'm glad to see those gone. When it comes to raising awareness of ArriveCAN, h

Trevor Boudreau
International Trade committee You said something off the top that was really important, and it's important for the committee to hear it again. We need to separate the requirements for vaccine and health information from the use and application of the app itself. The app and the platform it's based on will be
