Transportation Advocacy

TIANS continues to support key transportation issues. In a submission to the new Minister of Tourism, TIANS highlighted key transportation issues related to roads, access to the province and the overall lack of strategic transportation strategy for the province.

TIANS is also continuing to support TIAC’s priorities related to the need for new air bilateral; the ongoing concerns with airport rents and landing fees. It is crucial that our airports are competitive as we compete with global destinations that are much cheaper to do business with.
