Airlines are federally regulated.

Has Dr. Tam made any comments about middle seats no longer being blocked?

BC officials are concerned, but obviously can't do anything about it.
Yes, she essentially echos the comments from Dr. Henry in BC:

My take (no evidence beyond what is in this thread) is that the Canadian government is not leading on this issue and has every appearance of being happy to let AC and WS do whatever they heck they want. By appearance they don't even seem to grasp that IATA is an industry association that is entirely biased to whatever generates profits for the airlines not whatever is in the interest of public health. If provincial and federal governments took this approach across all industries we would be in worse shape.
