Lobbyists

  • Laurie Marcil · EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Institutions they may lobby: Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), Rural Economic Development (Minister’s Office), Transport Canada (TC)

What they're lobbying on (1)
  • Engaging the government of Canada to discuss regulation "Standard 723 - Air Taxi: Aeroplanes - Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs)", more specifically, the impact of the new requirement for flight duty times on services provided to but not limited to remote First Nation communities, remote communities, as well as several sectors including tourism, mining, forestry to name a few. These regulations require more pilots and will therefore leave air carriers with no choice but to reduce transportation for medical appointments, court appointments, delivery of necessities, tourists and workers. Since brought into place it has become very clear that these regulations are having broad negative impacts on critical air transportation across Canada. Airports are losing regular scheduled flights from regional air carriers, air carriers are finding the Notice of Intent (NOI) process unaffordable, too challenging to navigate and Transport Canada very slow to respond, and compliance for 703 and 702 air operators is extremely challenging as they juggle meeting the needs of clients and keeping their businesses viable. In 2025, a proposal of exemptions was developed with Transport Canada staff that would allow flexibility to Northern air carriers and their staff that would allow for compliance while maintaining a high level of safety. We have been waiting for Minister's approval. It has been over a year.
