Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Public Safety committee That's correct.

Public Safety committee It is Transport Canada that maintains the list. That's correct, the Minister of Transport.
April 29th, 2010Committee meeting
Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee Certainly we would have no problem with that, but I would again note that if this person was denied boarding because of being on the specified persons list, it is our policy to ensure that they are aware that they are on the list if they are denied boarding, and they would be giv

Public Safety committee Anything is possible. The airlines maintain all types of different lists for flyers who behave badly on flights, for people who don't pay their bills, for any number of things, as well as other countries' no-fly lists. I can only speculate.

Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee That's quite possible, yes.
April 29th, 2010Committee meeting
Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee Yes, 24/7.
April 29th, 2010Committee meeting
Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee Yes, we do have that exemption.
April 29th, 2010Committee meeting
Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee I can't speak to that. That would have been a decision of Air Canada.

April 29th, 2010Committee meeting
Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee Again, I don't know the circumstances of those particular cases, but those delays in boarding would not have been a result of being on our specified persons list.
April 29th, 2010Committee meeting
Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee That would be an immediate indication. If the person is under 18 years of age, immediately we would know they're not on the list. If that information were communicated to us, we would communicate back to the air carrier directly that this person couldn't possibly be a match for a
April 29th, 2010Committee meeting
Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee I'm not sure about those specific recommendations, but I can point out that the Office of the Privacy Commissioner did do an audit of the program. That audit was conducted in November 2009, and concluded that the passenger protect program does indeed comply with the Privacy Act,
April 29th, 2010Committee meeting
Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee Yes, that is correct.
April 29th, 2010Committee meeting
Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee That's correct, yes.
April 29th, 2010Committee meeting
Gerard McDonald
Public Safety committee No, as I repeated, we do not make use of the American list. The only instance when a flight in Canada may be diverted to Canadian airspace would be if it was an international flight that might come into American airspace. When it is in American airspace, it would be subject to Am
