This will drastically impact upon the manpower of this department and CATSA and will consequently impact upon the oversight of safety, security and the economic development of the transportation sector. The Association asks the Finance Minister to reverse this short sighted and detrimental move which will impact the safety and security of the travelling public.
"Transport Canada was already not meeting the level of service that industry requires. These cuts to CATSA will seriously hinder their ability to provide service to the travelling public," concluded ATAC President John McKenna.
