The Canadian Airports Council (CAC) — the voice for Canada’s airports, including all the community operated National Airports System (NAS) airports — is grateful for the opportunity to offer members of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance (FINA) its recommendations for the 2024 federal budget.

We recognize that, over time, strong relationships with Members of Parliament have played an instrumental role in the responsiveness of the federal government to our sector. Without that ongoing dialogue, the progress achieved on a range of relevant policy files — from the reinstatement of NEXUS, the launch of the Verified Traveller Program, developments on support for Sustainable Aviation Fuels, and beyond — is unlikely to have happened. We are grateful to build on that conversation through this submission.
