Dec. 13, 2023, 3:25 p.m.
Private Members' Business M-96 (Canadian Aviation Regulations)
  • That:

    (a) the House recognize that an assessment by the International Association of Fire Fighters concluded significant regulatory shortfalls concerning emergency responses at Canada's major airports are needlessly putting the safety of the flying public at risk, by

    (i) failing to specify rescue as a required function of airport fire fighters,

    (ii) requiring only that fire fighters must reach the mid-point of the furthest runway in three minutes rather than all points on operational runways within that time period; and

    (b) in the opinion of the House, the government should, without delay, ensure that the Canadian Aviation Regulations reflect airport rescue and firefighting standards published by the International Civil Aviation Organization, specifically by

    (i) giving fire fighters at Canada's major airports the mandate and resources necessary to reach the site of a fire or mishap anywhere on an operational runway in three minutes or less,

    (ii) specifying that a required function of fire fighters be the rescue of passengers.
