The controversial project was raised in the Ontario Legislature last year, with the Wynne Government voting down a private member’s bill to revoke the approval as an obvious threat to safety. Despite lobbying efforts by COPA (Canadian Owners and Pilots Association) and its members, the Federal Minister of Transportation refused to exercise his authority pursuant to the Aeronautics Act to stop the project as a threat to aviation safety.
