Part 5 – Division 29
Overview
Proposed Amendments to the Canada Transportation Act
The proposed amendments to the Canada Transportation Act would strengthen Canada's alignment with international standards and obligations across all modes of transportation. They would authorize the Minister of Transport to issue interim orders under any provision of an act that they administer or enforce, for a period of up to three years, specifically for matters related to alignment and compliance with international standards or obligations.
The amendments would reduce delays in aligning with international standards, improve Canada’s global competitiveness by enabling rapid adaptation to changing economic and security conditions, support trade and security diversification, close safety and security gaps, and accelerate technology adoption through international collaboration.
The proposed amendments to the Canada Transportation Act would come into force upon the royal assent of the Budget Implementation Act, 2025.
