Garneau imposes new air security measures, but won’t say what or why
OTTAWA — The federal government has imposed new airline security measures on certain Canada-bound flights, but it provided precious few details Tuesday, citing a need for secrecy.
Transport Minister Marc Garneau made the announcement after the government’s weekly cabinet meeting.
Garneau said the measures — in place until further notice — would ensure greater security on flights coming to Canada “from certain countries,” but he added little else.
The National Airlines Council of Canada, which represents major carriers including Air Canada, had no immediate comment.
