Transport committee  Some of the programs that we had in place, like eco-technology, actually looked at exactly the connection between testing these vehicles and the connection to the regulatory rule making. Actually, while I understand that everybody feels that we have not been that fast in terms of

Transport committee  I don't think they're scheduled for this year.

Transport committee  Mr. Chairman, what the honourable member is asking about is exactly what our minister has requested us to do. One was first to clarify the application of these regulations. Transport Canada's mandate, and the federal government jurisdiction over waters, requires that we do make s

Transport committee  We're working on that. As we talked about last year when we appeared in front of you, there are a number of things we are doing.

Transport committee  I have personally not been directed to use that particular terminology. If you look at the press releases out of our department, out of infrastructure Canada, I think most of our wording is “Government of Canada”.

Official Languages committee  Air Canada's activities regarding the complaints are managed by the official languages commissioner. As well, the overall Official Languages Act falls under the Treasury Board Secretariat.
