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.

19. SUMMARY
• Canadian railways carried 32.1 million tonnes of freight in May, up 8.7% from May 2021 levels
and ending the string of eight straight year-over-year monthly decreases in tonnage. Higher
shipments of iron ores and some energy products more than offset a continued slide in
agricultural and food products.
• The overall traffic volume was also the highest level for May since 2019, before the COVID-
19 pandemic, and it exceeded the five-year average of 31.3 million tonnes for the month.
