Advocating a policy modernization and red-tape-reduction agenda for the airport system. These include: digitization of traveller and cargo processing across federal agencies along with improved back-end government systems needed to deliver it; assessment of aviation regulation through a competitiveness, operational and regional resilience lens; modernized rules governing airport land use and commercial flexibility that keep fees low; and, improved zoning and resolution processes for airspace protection from incompatible development.

Advancing federal budget investment decisions that sustain and grow the national airport system as strategic economic and dual-use infrastructure essential to Canadians coast to coast to coast. These include: ground lease extensions and crown rent reform; eligibility and new funding for infrastructure and economic growth projects at small and mid-size airports facing an unsupported $19 Billion investment gap over 10 years; and, levelling up Airports Capital Assistance Program (ACAP) funding to meet the true need for safety and security projects at small and northern airports.

We also advocate for measures to address the root causes of suicidality including social services, health supports, access to housing and full inclusion in all aspects of society.

Legal Capacity. Influence the adoption by the federal government of consistent guidelines and policies that explicitly recognize and support the use of supported decision making as a primary alternative to guardianship. Grounded in the recognition of legal capacity - and the right to access support to exercise that right - contained in article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Inclusion Canada advocates for law reform and a national framework to enshrine and safeguard the right of people with intellectual disabilities to make decisions for themselves (legal capacity, supported decision making...).
