(b) the hazards, if any, associated with the aircraft, including the location of Pitot tubes, propellers, rotors and engine intakes.

(3) If the safety briefing referred to in subsection (1) is not sufficient for a passenger — because of his or her physical, sensory or comprehension limitations or because the passenger is responsible for another person on board the aircraft — the passenger shall, subject to subsection (4), be given a safety briefing that consists of the following:

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Interim Order.)

Proposal

Interim Order No. 11 Respecting Private Operators (the “Interim Order”), made under subsection 6.41(1) of the Aeronautics Act by the Minister of Transport, returns the functions of certification and oversight of private operators of business aircraft to Transport Canada.

The Interim Order, in accordance with subsection 6.41(2) of the Aeronautics Act, ceases to have effect 14 days after it is made unless it is approved by the Governor in Council (GIC). Following GIC approval, the Interim Order, in accordance with subsection 6.41(3) of the Aeronautics Act, will remain in force for one year or until regulations having the same effect are made.

Objective

The objective of the Interim Order is to allow Transport Canada to provide certification and oversight of private operators while a new regulatory framework is developed as part of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (the “CARs”).

Proposed amendments to the CARs will be submitted within one year to the Governor in Council for consideration.

Background

In 2005, Transport Canada amended Subpart 604 of the CARs to enable the Canadian Business Aviation Association (the “CBAA”) to issue a private operator certificate to private operators of business aircraft and monitor their operations.

Following a review, the Minister announced on March 16, 2010, that the certification and the oversight of operators are core responsibilities of Transport Canada and should not be conducted by the private sector for business aviation.

Following the Minister's announcement, the CBAA restructured its activities in anticipation of the discontinuance of its certification function as of April 1, 2011.

Transport Canada chose ministerial interim orders as the means to provide protection for the public and replace the CBAA from its certification and oversight functions while the proposed regulations were prepared for prepublication.

On April 16, 2011, the Private Operators Interim Order which was made by the Minister under subsection 6.41(1) of the Aeronautics Act, was published in the Canada Gazette, Part Ⅰ. Interim Order No. 10 Respecting Private Operators was signed by the Minister on June 25, 2012, and approved by the Governor in Council on June 28, 2012, and will remain in effect until June 25, 2013.

Following the signature of Interim Order No. 10 Respecting Private Operators by the Minister, Transport Canada reviewed and finalized new policy elements with respect to private operators as a result of a focus group convened by Transport Canada in May 2012 with industry stakeholders. The focus group was established as a result of the continued and frequent exchanges that Transport Canada had with the CBAA after the March 2010 announcement on the extent of the regulation required for the business aviation sector.

The making of the Interim Order is required as Transport Canada is finalizing the regulatory framework for Canadian private operators of business aircraft.

Implications

The CBAA did not have the capacity to conduct the oversight of private operators that are operating business aircraft past March 31, 2011.

Without the means of ministerial interim orders, a legislative gap would have resulted for these operators, creating a significant risk to aviation safety and the safety of the public. Specifically, the Minister would not have been able to issue certificates or to take certain enforcement actions against a private operator where safety was compromised.

The Interim Order extends the Minister's ability to provide a regulatory structure for the certification and oversight of private operators of business aircraft, as the Department is furthering the regulatory framework that will govern this sector of civil aviation.

Overall, the Interim Order does not impose a heavier regulatory burden on private operators than the former regulations authorizing the CBAA to issue and oversee certification.

Consultation

Transport Canada has briefed stakeholders at the December 2012 Plenary meeting of the Canadian Aviation Regulation Advisory Council (CARAC) on the development of the regulatory framework for private operators.

Since the making of Interim Order No. 10 Respecting Private Operators on June 25, 2012, Transport Canada has had frequent informal exchanges with the CBAA. The CBAA has been consulted with respect to the making of Interim Order No. 11 Respecting Private Operators.

Transport Canada is presently finalizing the draft regulations for prepublication in the Canada Gazette, Part Ⅰ.

The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) is responsible for strengthening oversight of consumer issues and expanding consumer education in the financial sector. In Budget 2011, the Government announced its intention to appoint a Financial Literacy Leader to promote national efforts. With the passage of the Financial Literacy Leader Act (Bill C-28), the objectives of the FCAC were amended to include collaboration and coordination with stakeholders in activities to contribute to and support initiatives to strengthen the financial literacy of Canadians. In order to fulfill the FCAC's new mandate, Bill C-28 provides for the appointment of a Financial Literacy Leader by the Governor in Council.

The Financial Literacy Leader is responsible for providing clear leadership and coordination on financial literacy initiatives at the national level. In order to capitalize on the excellent work on financial literacy already taking place across the country and successfully utilize existing resources, the Financial Literacy Leader will rally and collaborate with stakeholders from various disciplines throughout Canada. The newly created position will be accountable to the Minister of Finance and to Parliament through the Commissioner of the FCAC.

The ideal candidate should possess a degree from a recognized university in economics, finance, law, business administration, public administration, education or any other relevant specialty, or an acceptable combination of relevant education, job-related training and/or experience.

The ideal candidate would have management experience in a private or public organization, including management of financial and human resources. Experience setting strategic direction and priorities while taking into account the experience, expertise and diverse views of stakeholders is desired. He or she would have experience in developing and maintaining partnerships between private and public organizations. Experience in financial literacy and education, as well as intergovernmental relations, would be considered assets.

The ideal candidate would be knowledgeable about the mandate and activities of the FCAC as well as the legislative framework in which it operates. This candidate should also possess knowledge of financial literacy issues and challenges, and knowledge of Canadian stakeholders contributing to financial literacy. Knowledge of issues faced by financial consumers is also sought.

The ideal candidate would have the demonstrated ability to lead strategically and resourcefully and focus the energies and talents of various stakeholders. This will require an individual who possesses the qualities of tact, sound judgement, initiative, strong interpersonal skills and high ethical standards and integrity. The chosen candidate must be able to motivate various stakeholders to effect change, build consensus and achieve positive outcomes with respect to financial literacy in Canada. In addition, the successful candidate must be able to identify, analyze and define priorities and strategies.
