The planned spending over the three-year period is diminishing mainly because of: a decrease in the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority capital budget; a programmed increase for 2006-07 only to cover an operating shortfall for Marine Atlantic Incorporated; the continued divestiture of ports and airports; the winding down of transfer payment programs such as the Strategic Highway Infrastructure Program and Action plan 2000 for Climate Change; and increasing annual reductions for efficiency and procurement imposed by the Expenditure Review Committee of Cabinet.

Note:
Table 9: Major Regulatory Initiatives
Regulations |
Expected Results |
Amendments to the Aeronautics Act are underway to address fatigue management, liability insurance, aviation companies' management systems, analysis and reporting of safety data, and new compliance and enforcement tools. | Modernized legislative requirements to respond to industry needs. |
New series of Canadian Aviation Regulations amendments to introduce a requirement for airports, flight training units and smaller commercial operations to have a safety management system in place that integrates operations and technical systems with financial and human resource management. | Safe operations and compliance with the Canadian Aviation Regulations. |
New Canadian Aviation Regulations incorporating fatigue risk management systems into aviation maintenance organizations. These regulations are an extension of the safety management system approach to managing risks in the aviation environment. | Enhanced aviation safety due to a reduction of incidents related to operator fatigue. |
Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 - Occupant Restraint Systems in Frontal Impact: Further research and a cost-benefit study are underway to ensure that seat belts and air bags are designed to provide optimal protection to belted occupants and that any injuries due to occupant protection system are minimized. | Annual reduction of 12 fatalities and 44 serious injuries due to advanced seat belts and air bags. |
Regulatory reform under the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 (CSA 2001), is proceeding in a two-phase approach. Over 50 existing regulations will be overhauled into 17 regulations in Phase I, and the modernization of the remaining regulations will take place in Phase II. Phase I focuses on those that are needed to bring the act into force and is expected to be completed by early 2007. Phase II will concentrate on the existing regulations that are consistent with the act; generally, these regulations need only to be updated and modernized and not overhauled as those in Phase I. | A twenty-first century shipping law to promote safety on board vessels and to protect the marine environment in the context of a healthy, competitive marine industry. |
Transport Canada's pollution prevention program will undergo a major update through the introduction of the Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships and for Dangerous Chemicals (new) under the existing Canada Shipping Act (CSA). Once finalized, these new Regulations will put Canada in a position to accede to the optional Annexes IV, V and VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Shipping (MARPOL) and the Anti-fouling Systems Convention. | Reduction in incidents related to the pollution of the environment from ship sources. |
Ballast Water Regulations (new), to harmonize with the International Maritime Organization's Ballast Water Convention, U.S. laws regarding ballast water, and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 1978. (CSA) | Reduced incidents related to ship source marine pollution. |
Boating Restriction Regulations (revised) to provide for the establishment of restrictions to boating activities and navigation in Canadian waters. (CSA and CSA 2001) | Enhanced marine safety. |
Competency of Operators of Pleasure Craft Regulations (revised), impose competency requirements on operators of pleasure craft with amendments underway, under the current act, to improve the administration of the testing process to be followed by a reformed regulation, under the new act, to deal with theissue of course provider accreditation. (CSA and CSA 2001) | Enhanced marine safety for pleasure craft operators and boating community. |
Life Saving Equipment Regulations (revised) (CSA) | Enhanced safety of children travelling on board Canadian vessels. |
Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations (new), to provide a graduated enforcement scheme and effective deterrents for violations on vessels operating in Canadian waters. (CSA 2001) | Enhanced marine safety and compliance. |
Cargo, Fumigation and Tackle Regulations (new), to rationalize existing rules for loading and stowing cargo. (CSA) | Enhanced marine safety. |
Collision Regulations (revised), to promote uniform measures and safe conduct of vessels. (CSA 2001) | Improved consistency of regulations and enhanced safety related to the conduct of vessels. |
Marine Personnel Regulations (new): To streamline the existing crewing and certification requirements into one regulation and add a labour component. (CSA 2001) | More streamlined and harmonized regulations. |
Vessel Registration and Tonnage Regulations (revised): These new regulations will clarify for stakeholders the requirements for registering and calculating the tonnage of their vessels as well as comply with the terms of the International Convention on the Tonnage Measurements of Ships (1969). (CSA 2001) | More streamlined and harmonized regulations. |
Pursuant to the Pilotage Act, the four pilotage authorities have to provide safe and efficient pilotage services. The proposed amendments to their Pilotage Regulations result from distinct pilotage risk studies carried out by these authorities since 2001, on a series of recommendations contained in the 1999 report of the Ministerial review of pilotage issues. The various regulatory initiatives aim at improving pilotage practices and procedures in the four pilotage regions to the benefit of service users. | Safe and efficient pilotage service to commercial vessels in Canadian compulsory pilotage waters. |
Marine Transportation Security Clearance Program: Amendments to the Marine Transportation Security Regulations to increase marine transportation security in Canadian marine facilities by requiring workers with certain key duties affecting security or cargo movement to obtain a transportation security clearance (TSC) from Transport Canada. In addition, workers requiring access to certain restricted areas will also be required to obtain a TSC. This initiative is being implemented in the ports of Vancouver, Halifax and Montreal, and will closely parallel requirements now in place in Canadian airports. | Implementation of the infrastructure (including effective regulatory framework), required to process the Marine Transportation Security Clearances. |
Development of regulations and/or security measures to support the screening of all checked baggage, as per the Minister's commitment to achieve 100% screening of checked baggage at all designated airports by January 1, 2006. | Enhanced aviation security; alignment with international standards. |
A review of the Canadian Aviation Security Regulations and security measures as required by the Public Safety Act (2002). Regulations to replace security measures no longer required to be confidential must be made within one year after the Notice of Intent is published in the Canada Gazette. A broader review and re-alignment of the aviation security regulatory framework is expected to take about four years to complete. | Increased transparency; enhanced aviation security. |
The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations will be amended to harmonize with international agreements, maintain reciprocity with U.S. provisions, revise means of containment standards to reflect new engineering developments and construction designs, and address emerging issues. | Improved level of safety in the transport of dangerous goods. |
Marine Liability Regulations: Compulsory Insurance for Injury or Death of Passengers. | Protection of marine passengers or their dependents from economic loss due to injury or death arising from a marine incident by ensuring that all marine carriers are insured to the level of their maximum liability to passengers, as established under the Marine Liability Act. |
Regulation for Vancouver to ensure Vancouver and Fraser River Port Authorities implement a licencing system with various conditions approved by the Vancouver Port Authority as well as any provincial measures. | To achieve labour stability in the owner-operated container trucking sector through regulating access to ports. |
New International Bridges and Tunnels Regulations as permitted under current legislation before Parliament as described in the International Bridges and Tunnels Act. These regulations will address safety, security and operations of these 24 vehicular and 9 railway bridges and tunnels. | Consistent application of safety and security standards and assurance that these bridges and tunnels are operated and maintained in accordance with government's objectives. |

Points to address | Departmental Input |
1. How does your department/agency plan to incorporate sustainable development principles into your mission, vision, policy and day-to-day operations? | Transport Canada's Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) is the department's plan for incorporating sustainable development principles into its policies, programs and operations. The department's mission and vision address the three pillars of sustainable development: economy, environment and society. Transport Canada will continue to promote a sustainable transportation system for Canada, one that is efficient, safe, secure and environmentally responsible (see section 2.1.3 for more information). |
2. What Goals, Objectives and Targets from your most recent SDS will you be focusing on this year? How will you measure your success? |
TC has seven strategic challenges:
The strategy identifies a total of 173 targets, which are
reported on an annual basis. The 2004-2006 targets are available
online at
www.tc.gc.ca/programs/ |
3. Identify any sustainable development tools, such as Strategic Environmental Assessments or Environmental Management Systems that will be applied over the next year. |
Transport Canada's Strategic Environmental Assessment and
Environmental Management Systems are important parts of how the
department carries out its decision-making processes and day-to-day
operations. The department will continue to apply these tools over
the next year. The Sustainable Transportation Lens is being developed as part of a commitment in the current SDS. It will be studied over the next year as to its potential for wider applications. |
The Audit and Advisory Services and Departmental Evaluation Services will conduct the following internal audits and evaluations in 2006-2007[1]
