This function has been carried out by various business units over time, described in further detail in the administrative history section of this series record. Aviation security activities and programs have historically included many of the same that are typical across the entire department, including planning and reporting, policy and legislative development, issue management, regulation, analysis, national and international coordination and harmonization, and partnership development. Activities and programs that are more unique to the aviation security function involve overseeing aviation security across the entire Canadian air transport industry. This includes overseeing security screening programs for passengers and luggage (currently delivered by the Canadian Air Transport Security Administration - CATSA), delivering a security screening program for cargo, administering aviation security clearance programs, intelligence analysis, technology analysis, and incident management.
Since different organizational units at TC have been responsible for aviation security activities over time, related records may be found in other series in the fonds, including those dealing with aviation records, airport records, regional records, and security and emergency preparedness. Furthermore, since different aspects of aviation security are handled by different government institutions, related records will be found in the fonds for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, and Public Safety. Other related records will be found in the fonds for the Commission of Inquiry into the Investigation of the Bombing of Air India Flight 182, the Canadian Aviation Safety Board, and other.Nom(s) additionnel(s) :Biographie/Histoire administrative :Canada. Dept. of Transport. Aviation Security : Aviation security activities, when they were undertaken, initially fell under the responsibility of the regular aviation units of the department, including Air Services (1936-1970), followed by the Canadian Air Transportation Administration (1970-1985). Security issues in the early days were limited and mostly treated as criminal issues for the police, rather than issues of transportation policy. Hijackings in the 1960s and 70s, for example, led to a 1972 amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada making it an offense to smuggle weapons and explosives on board an aircraft. But pressures increased, and a 1973 amendment to the Aeronautics Act finally imposed requirements on air carriers to establish and operate security screening programs. The Department of Transport (DoT) provided equipment, such as metal detectors, where it was the airport owner. The International Civil Aviation Organization's adoption in 1974 of Annex 17 - Security - Safeguarding International Civil Aviation against Acts of Unlawful Interference, fully cemented DoT's responsibility for aviation security policy in Canada.
The Air India bombing on June 23, 1985 became a seminal moment in Canadian aviation security history. In the aftermath, the Interdepartmental Committee on Security Intelligence released a report in September of 1985, dubbed the Seaborn Report, which examined the context and details around the incident. It recommended sweeping changes to aviation security across government, and pointed at Transport Canada specifically for improvements to legislation and policy, funding and staffing, intelligence coordination, technological analysis, and organizational change. The ensuing changes included that security functions within Transport were consolidated in 1986 into a new Security and Emergency Preparedness Directorate. An event outside of Canada, the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, became a second seminal moment in Canadian aviation security history. Canada reacted swiftly by budgeting and enacting legislation for the creation of a new Crown corporation, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, to administer passenger and luggage security screening programs across nearly 100 Canadian airports. In 2009, a reorganization resulted in the creation of a new Aviation Security Directorate within the Safety and Security Group. The new Directorate has continued to administer Transport's aviation security responsibilities since then.Information additionnelle :Versements complémentaires :Further accruals are expected.Source :GouvernementAncien no de référence archivistique :RG12 -
