Summary: In April 2022, the volume of cargo carried by Canadian railways was 31.3 million tonnes, edging down 1.2% from April 2021 and marking the eighth consecutive month of year-over-year decline. Overall freight volume remained near the five-year monthly average of 31.4 million tonnes, with increases in loadings of energy products offsetting the ongoing steep declines in grain shipments.

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.

19. SUMMARY
• For the first quarter of 2022, the cumulative volume of goods moved by rail totalled 85.1 million
tonnes. This was a decline of 9.0% from the first quarter of 2021, and the lowest cumulative first
quarter total since 2016.
• March's decline in total rail freight was attributable to lower volumes of domestic loadings, both
non-intermodal (mainly commodities) and intermodal (mainly containers). There was also a
short labour disruption at one rail carrier during March.
