Transport committee  If I could jump in, I think you raise a good point. There is a perception in the industry that there are no regulatory requirements. What Nick was describing is the work that we've done recently to make it clear to the industry that there are regulatory standards they're expected

Transport committee  On the fact that there is a safety issue with small tugs we agree, and we've been taking a series of steps and actions to address that through outreach, oversight and enforcement. Wiping away the distinction between larger and smaller vessels is not.... We've certainly raised t

Transport committee  I can tell you that, first of all, the return to work in the office is not a great way of.... We are measuring this. I'll give you a number in a second when Ryan reminds me, but going back to the work, we've been very careful because many Transport Canada employees never work in

Transport committee  I am aware of the project. I can tell you that in general, the Department of Transport supports and encourages public transit projects. However, this issue is handled by our colleagues at Infrastructure Canada. I apologize, but I don't know all the details of it. I will be happy

Transport committee  Mr. Chair, first of all I'd like to recognize the unfailing commitment and time spent by the member on transportation safety, rail safety and tug safety in particular, and I do recall the very exacting question with respect to the towing capacity of tugs. The member raises a fa

Transport committee  We are moving ahead with the project, one step at a time. We are starting by communicating with the industry. We have a good response rate. As the minister said, about 50 organizations responded to the invitation. To ensure the success of the project, we need to rely on global e

Transport committee  I'd be happy to, Chair. The member raises a very important question. It has been a top priority of the minister and Transport Canada to strengthen partnerships with indigenous peoples. There are many nations that are in a place where they are really important partners in the tra

Transport committee  Again, I think you raise a very good point, and it's one where, in our funding programs and our partnership programs, we don't always allow for or fully consider those life-cycle dynamics. We're certainly trying to push more towards being partners with indigenous groups on sustai

Transport committee  If you take cancellations, you'll see that New York is at 0.5%, Newark is at 0.5% and Chicago is at 0.5%. Those American airports are still slightly ahead of the Canadian airports. Frankfurt, Beijing and places like that will typically be a little bit higher.

Transport committee  We'd be happy to send them along.

Transport committee  Very quickly, this is an area of key concern for the minister, for Transport Canada and for all of our provincial colleagues in the transportation sector. There is work between transportation sector officials and counterparts in immigration and employment, training and skills t

Transport committee  Thank you for the question. This is all with respect to the air transport agreement between Canada and India. It has been a shared interest of both Canada and India to increase direct flight connections. Both countries have been pleased to see an increase in direct flight connec

Transport committee  Thank you for the question. I appreciate the invitation to refer to colleagues when necessary. Mr. Chair, the member is exactly right. There has been some significant progress. Starting around the third week of July the numbers began to turn. There were very high rates of cance

Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chair, I think the net-zero 2050 plan is ambitious and will require a lot of effort and innovation, but, given the pace of innovation we're seeing in low-carbon technology and how rapidly that's evolving, we believe there's a feasible pathway. Not every element of that pathwa

Public Accounts committee  I would say, like DND, that we have not figured out every last change to get us to net-zero 2050, but the rate of progress and evolution of the carbon-neutral road map is such that I think we're on a pathway to get us there.
