this reducing the carbon footprint) -

8. AIR TRANSPORTATION ACT

With the adoption of bill C-49, the terms of these exemptions have now become law and the CTA’s foreign
ownership cap has passed from 25% to 49%. That said, a single foreign corporation or entity can only own up to
25% of the voting interests, and any number of foreign airlines may together own a total of 25% of the voting
interests of a “Canadian” airline. In addition, bill C-49 does not modify the CTA’s requirement that notwithstanding
any foreign participation, a “Canadian” entity must be “controlled in fact” by Canadians.
With the adoption of bill C-49, the CTA requires that the Agency make regulations establishing a new airline
passenger rights regime. The regulations will govern flights to, from and within Canada, including connecting
flights, and will specify the requirements governing a carrier’s obligations in the case of flight delay, cancellation or
denial of boarding, as well as minimum standards of treatment, compensation and assistance in completing the
planned itinerary.

• Harper issue new laws related to rail safety - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/new-rail-
safety-rules-issued-after-lac-megantic-disaster-1.1354333
• More product is moving by rail now. There are more rail accidents under Trudeau

18. EMISSIONS AND OIL
• Are these all lies?
• Oil pipelines have very little carbon foot print - https://www.canadaaction.ca/greenhouse-gas-emissions-pipelines-canada
• Railway have emissions - https://www.cpr.ca/en/community/rail-environmental-facts
• Railway sparks can lead to forest fires - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/railway-sparks-caused-massive-timmins-fire-mnr-

https://www.canadaaction.ca/reasons_why_pipelines_are_good_for_the_environment
• Record level of oil by rail - https://globalnews.ca/news/4824795/canadian-oil-exports-rail-safety/. BTW: there is opportunity costs as
more oil by rails means less cars/engines for other aspects of the economy like grains or metals or other areas –

• https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-rail-transportation-canada-may-2019 (see slide 12 - Rail Safety)
• Pipeline still are the most efficient way to get oil to market. https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-oil-and-gas-
pipelines-canada-june-2019 - I would stop looking at emissions, because Canada absorbs more CO2 than it emits.
