e-2351 (Transportation)
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the House of Commons
- Air traffic from Saint-Hubert airport operations flies over densely populated residential areas;
- Quality of life (noise pollution and public safety) is greatly affected by the high frequency of daytime and night flights of small private planes and flight schools, helicopters and heavy aircraft;
- The excessive noise that aircraft generate does serious damage to human health;
- Air pollution contributes to climate change; and
- There is a lack of cooperation on the part of the airport and the City of Longueuil.
Response by the Minister of Transport
Signed by (Minister or Parliamentary Secretary): The Honourable Marc Garneau
NAV CANADA has a mandate to establish the current routes and procedures for entry and exit points for aircraft operating under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) from the Saint-Hubert airport. Noise management is a complex issue that airport authorities and communities must manage while ensuring that aviation safety is not compromised. Thus, the airports are important players in this issue. Transport Canada’s role is as a regulator. Airports and NAV CANADA are responsible for day-to-day operations at the local level.
