Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Transport committee Yes. For example, large aircraft are probably less noisy than small aircraft on arrival, but the reverse is true on departure.

Transport committee The approach profile is really determined by safety practices. Altitude varies from one aircraft to another. That depends on how it's designed. On arrival, we do not control the noise issue: it's a physical matter, in a way. However, we take that into account when we assess each

Transport committee The challenge, in my view, comes mainly from the fact that most noise emissions are generated in flight. There are not a lot of physical means to alter that situation.
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee Yes, that's the case around the airport and on the ground, but not in flight. I believe that a lot of changes concern ground operations.
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee I don't believe we're considering adopting new regulations for airports such as Saint-Hubert for the moment.
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee It's something that evolved when we devolved a lot of the airports. We're talking about 10 years ago, I think, for the most part. I'm not sure I have the exact date.
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee Yes. We'll confirm the details of what was in place, but it really was through policy, as part of the lease, as opposed to through regulation. There isn't a specific regulation there about the way we do it.

Martin Eley
Transport committee Yes.
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee I mentioned the other day that we work on three things. One is to make sure we meet the highest possible standards in terms of aircraft noise, and we're part of the process. ICAO raises those standards periodically. We're certainly very much involved, and more changes are coming
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee The consultation is required when they're changed, if they want to change the procedures, either because it's a new airport and they put them in place or there are changes that need to be reworked for other reasons. It's not ongoing. It's—
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee Yes, sorry.
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee It has escaped me for a minute; I apologize.
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee Yes.
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee There are limits for individuals and there are limits for companies. There are limits for individuals of $5,000--so anything up to $5,000 for an individual and anything up to $25,000 for a company. Depending on the frequency and the severity, if you like, there's some judgment fr
December 7th, 2010Committee meeting
Martin Eley
Transport committee That's all part of the enforcement action. When you see the same offenders, you will more likely be more severe on subsequent violations.
