SUMMARY

The purpose of this enactment is to amend the Canada Transportation Act in order to make it more difficult for adults and non-custodial parents to abduct children by means of air transportation. The legislation is also aimed at reducing the incidence of child abduction and kidnapping in Canada, by requiring all adult passengers travelling with young persons to produce written proof of the consent of their parents or of other persons who have lawful custody over them.
