In September, the volume of cargo carried by Canadian railways reached 30.8 million tonnes, down slightly (-0.9%) from September 2020. While the overall freight volume was very close to the five-year monthly average of 31.5 million tonnes, increases in loadings of energy products and freight traffic from US connections helped to offset lower shipments of some agricultural and food products.

11. AIR TRANSPORTATION ACT
Source - https://www.mccarthy.ca/en/insights/articles/bill-c-49-shakes-air-transportation-law-canada
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.
