Finance committee  Thank you for your question. I will answer in English. As a point of clarification, when you refer to a “regional airport”, what category or size are you talking about? Can you give me some examples?

Finance committee  Many of these airports have smaller traffic volumes today, so anything that improves the cost structure for industry is an improvement for everyone across the board. Our members today actually don't include some of those airports you referred to. We have small airports like Sudb

Finance committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Casey. We certainly appreciate your support and the support of your colleagues, as I said at the outset. The projects fall into two sets of categories, and certainly the ones you're referring to from 2010 were more of the trade-enabling infrastruc

Transport committee  Thank you. Madam Chair and members of the committee, good morning. The safety and security of our passengers and workers is the number one priority of airports, which is why we thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today on a topic that is extremely important to air

Transport committee  Yes. My colleagues from CATSA are here, of course, so I'm sure they can elaborate on funding. Minister Garneau made some important commitments in the Transportation 2030 plan, and we really appreciate that. The commitments to look at service-level standards for screening and bei

Transport committee  Thank you for your question. I will try to answer in English. We don't question CATSA's commitment or ability to be effective in security screening, but on the travellers' side, we have travellers who are waiting over an hour at peak times. They're paying a fairly high air trave

Transport committee  The information that we have is just for the earlier fiscal year. We understand that the difference was about $110 million, and that varies, but traveller numbers are going up. As a result of that, the air traveller security charge revenue is going up, but the funding is not keep

Transport committee  On airport privatization, our members actually have a variety of views on that. They're communicating directly with government and with the public on where they sit on that. As a council, as a result of that, we haven't taken a position on that particular file.

Transport committee  That's something that varies from community to community and from airport size to airport size. We could certainly follow up with more precise information for the committee.

Transport committee  I will ask my colleague, Ms. Sullivan, to answer.

Transport committee  Are you referring to the skilled workforce? We jumped around there so I'm not....

Transport committee  The safety and security is forefront in training at airports throughout the country. I'm not really sure I see the connection with innovation. Innovation and technology are helping us do our jobs better. Taking it back to CATSA, certainly one of the concerns we have with the budg

Transport committee  I think as a community of airports, we're always looking at what's out there and how to improve things. Our organization is part of an international network. We work very closely with colleagues in the United States and around the world, so we're there at the forefront of technol

Transport committee  That's probably most appropriate for my colleagues at CATSA to respond to.

Transport committee  I think we've spoken to some of the solutions already. CATSA Plus is being rolled out at the first four airports. There is a plan to roll it out to more of the larger airports and higher-volume checkpoints. That plan is a bit stalled, however, until CATSA gets the money to contin
