Savings ($ Millions)

Description

The Department will achieve internal efficiencies through more comprehensive and integrated business planning, enhanced access to and use of technology based systems, greater sharing of common services with other government departments and adoption of best administrative practices.

Savings ($ Millions)

Description

As there is increased competition among Canadian air carriers and consumers have more choices, a separate complaints Commissioner is no longer necessary. The Canadian Transportation Agency already has a complaints management function, separate from the Air Travel Complaints Commissioner, which it will continue to exercise. The Air Travel Complaints Commissioner Office, an independent authority to address complaints, was established in 2000 through legislative changes to the Canada Transportation Act which followed the merger of Air Canada and Canadian Airlines.

Savings ($ Millions)

Description

Savings will be achieved through internal efficiencies and adjustments to major maintenance work both within the Federal Bridge Corporation itself and its subsidiary, Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridge.
