Transport committee  Just at a very high level, in terms of the CATSA perspective, they have identified what is needed to provide a similar service to last year, with 85% of passengers moving through the airport within 15 minutes. That is the estimate they make based on very rigorous assessments that

Transport committee  Madam Chair, there are some different elements in that. The biggest efficiency element is CATSA Plus, which is a methodology that CATSA has developed, learning from across the world on how to move people most efficiently through airports. They have been developing that system for

Transport committee  Just to clarify, if I understand your question correctly, the air traveller security fee is collected by the air carriers.

Transport committee  The air carriers remit that to the Department of Finance, so any questions on the air traveller security charge, such as any variances that may exist, would all have to be answered by the Department of Finance. I don't have that information.

Transport committee  That is exactly the case. Multiple kinds of situations can come up, whether they start from whatever workplace issues may be going on, whether they're disciplinary with a supervisor or inter-employee debates and issues. We have had cases where arguments and/or events occurred tha

Transport committee  Since January 1, we've removed or suspended five clearances at the airport for various reasons. I'm not certain where people may be working in other places at this point in time. My staff may be aware of that.

Transport committee  There's a first step of finding out information, so to be general here, again, there are individual circumstances that are going to vary. But when you hear information, typically it's going to be disturbing and not necessarily demonstrated as being factual. Maybe it's a report th

Transport committee  Our normal process, Madam Chair, is to go back to the airport when we've suspended a security clearance. The airport then talks to the regional CATSA person to make sure that the database connection is immediately disconnected so that pass will not show up accurately if they try

Transport committee  I'm sorry to perhaps not sound as clear as would be ideal, but the problem is that there are many sources of that type of information. An airport is a fairly non-homogeneous environment, with many employers and many workplaces that are often somewhat isolated. Some are not in t

Transport committee  That is certainly what is encouraged, and it is part of what was mentioned earlier in terms of safety management systems, where you take the approach of saying it's really important to share that information. For example, say someone was routinely leaving a door open. I'm speak

Transport committee  Madam Chair, the question is in regard to a copy of the internal bulletins for airport safety or security since 2015, or both, and at airports. I don't know that we have a lot of specific airports.... There are instructions per se to airports. There are regulations. We have inst

Transport committee  If I may, Madam Chair, can I ask if I can go back and look at what types of documents we have, what security classification they are, and how that mechanism would work? Perhaps we could have that conversation through the clerk to define that.

Transport committee  In my introductory comments I talked about a large number, but in the past year, for example, we've had 48 suspended transportation security clearances as a result of the perpetual vetting checks that are done. We've had 20 cancelled, and we've had 448 that were refused, either d

Transport committee  Maybe I can start. There are many examples. Also, if I may, I'll just add the one point that this is a preventative program. The Minister of Transport has very strong authorities to prevent something happening, so the flexibility in this program is very high. That has been tested

Transport committee  Yes, there is a setup of CATSA screening equipment. It's not exactly the same kind of screening, but it's similar to what the passengers go through.
