Ministerial Review of Outstanding Pilotage Issues
In August, 1998, the Minister of Transport asked the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) to conduct a forward-looking examination of the marine pilotage system in Canada. The impetus for this review stemmed from section 53 of the Pilotage Act which required the Minister to review certain specific issues within the current pilotage regime which had been deferred in the National Marine Policy of 1995.
The CTA received written submissions, convened two national meetings and held regional consultations with interested parties. All facets of the marine industry were active participants at many of these sessions. The Agency provided its final report to the Minister on September 1, 1999.
The Canadian Transportation Agency Review contains twenty-one recommendations, all with which Transport Canada concurs in principle. Details on the Agency recommendations and the Departmental response thereto can be found in the Report to Parliament at left.
