RECOMMENDATION |
|
|
|
Her Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of
Commons the appropriation of public revenue under the circumstances,
in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure entitled ``An Act
to establish the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada and to make
consequential amendments to other Acts''.
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment establishes the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of
Canada, which replaces the Civil Aviation Tribunal established under
Part IV of the Aeronautics Act, and extends the new Tribunal's
jurisdiction to the marine and railway sectors.
|
|
|
|
The enactment provides for the appointment of members to the
Tribunal, and sets out the general powers and authorities of the Tribunal
to conduct its affairs. It also provides for an independent process of
review by the Tribunal of administrative enforcement
actions - including the suspension and cancellation of licences,
certificates and other documents of entitlement, and the imposition of
monetary penalties - taken under various federal transportation Acts.
The Tribunal will also hear appeals from determinations made on
review.
|
|
|
|
The enactment amends the Aeronautics Act, the Canada Shipping
Act, the Canada Transportation Act, the Marine Transportation
Security Act and the Railway Safety Act to establish the jurisdiction and
decision-making authorities of the Tribunal under those Acts.
