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
Summary:
In July, the volume of cargo carried by Canadian railways reached 30.2 million tonnes, up 5.6% from July
2021 levels. Higher carloadings of energy products and potash helped contribute to this third consecutive
month of year-over-year growth.
For July 2022, the overall freight volume was also the highest level since July 2019, before the pandemic,
just under the five-year monthly average of 30.9 million tonnes.
