if you say yes, you believe every word of this press release from 15 months ago which says strict enforcement once law enacted

if you say NO, well, do NOT read this article if you wish to avoid your blood boiling - in sum, unlike alcohol, no scientific consensus exists on what level of THC is considered impairment, and Constitutional Challenges are planned to start in October.

So Minister of Transport busy creating good press for the current govt with tiny focus on IDB compensation- while the public safety of every flier in Canada is left to dangle and the Minister has NOT sufficiently driven the technical and enforcement agenda on Cannibis detection to be ready for October.

good luck to all of us.
He's creating good press by creating several regulations that will effectively fix inadequate portions of airlines' tariffs. They will likely address more than IDB compensationwhich has already been addressed - might have been under the last Government. Surprised you didn't know that.

You out seem awfully worried about safety. Fair enough. What do you make of the lack of policy intervention on pilot fatigue so far? Given AC's track record -from the Zurich flight to the SFO incident, I'd maybe worry more about that than cannabis or passenger rights. But then AC might not like that. Which may or may not influence your stance on the need for intervention. The FAA report on the SFO incident does not make for comfortable reading.
