Canada Transportation Act Review

Following guidelines issued by the federal Minister of Transport, this Government of Alberta Position Paper assesses "whether the Canada Transportation Act [CTA] and related legislation provide Canadians with an efficient, effective, flexible and affordable transportation system", and recommends "amendments to the national policy and to the legislation where necessary or desirable".

The Paper incorporates the contents of a document already provided to the CTA Review Panel in accordance with its October 6, 2000 target date, entitled, Canada Transportation Act Review: Tentative Positions on Competitive Rail Access Provisions.  The present overall paper holds to these tentative positions, but makes a number of important clarifications.
