Canadian Transportation Agency

- Parties: The appellant was Air Canada. The respondents were Timothy Rose and the Canadian Transportation Agency. The interveners were the Canadian Human Rights Commission, Council of Canadians With Disabilities, and Canadian Association of the Deaf.

- Subject Matter: This appeal challenged the Canadian Transportation Agency's order and decision. The appeal alleged that the Agency erred in law and acted outside of its jurisdiction by making an order that imposed content in Air Canada’s accessibility plan made under the Accessible Canada Act, 2019 (ACA). The Agency allegedly lacked the power under the ACA and/or the Accessible Transportation Planning and Reporting Regulations, SOR/2021-243, to make this order. This case is ongoing.

- Date: The hearing was set on Nov. 26, 2024.

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court of Appeal.

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
