Competition Bureau pushes for air travel changes as passengers face high costs and limited choice
Canadians appear on a "YYC" sign at Calgary International Airport in Calgary, Alta., Monday, Oct. 10, 2022. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh) A new report from Canada's Competition Bureau has called for significant reforms aimed at increasing competition in the domestic airline market, reducing airfare prices, and reining in government powers that could hinder a truly competitive environment. The news is promising for airline passengers like Kelsey Wokke who says she just spent $1,000 for a roundtrip flight between Vancouver and Calgary. 'That's absolutely crazy to me,' she said. 'So yes I do think there should be more competition in Canada's airline prices.' 'It's also interesting how if you look at the cost breakdown of your ticket, just how much of it isn't going to your actual flight and directly into airport fees instead. So finding ways to put that money elsewhere would be nice.' Released Thursday, the Competition Bureau's report on the air travel industry advocates for a 'leverage (of) international capital and experience to strengthen domestic competition,' including through raised ownership caps for investors outside Canada. Some of the highlights include recommending major reforms to rebalance the playing field. Among them: raising the cap for foreign ownership of airlines from 25 per cent to 49 per cent, and creating a new class of 'domestic-only Canadian airlines' that could be 100 per cent foreign-owned—a model already in use in Australia. Passengers bear the burden of fees The Competition Bureau also advocated for the Canadian aviation system to make changes to its 'user-pay' model, in which airlines and passengers cover the full costs of building and operating airports and navigation services. These fees account for 30 cents of every dollar passengers pay on traditional full-service airlines, and an even higher share on ultra-low-cost carriers. The breakdown includes: Fuel tax: 1 per cent Air travelers security charge: 3 per cent Nav Canada air navigation charges: 5 per cent Airport landing, terminal, and operational fees: 20 per cent Competition commissioner Matthew Boswell argues this fee structure disproportionately impacts travelers and new market entrants, adding to the challenge of fostering a more competitive and affordable domestic airline market. 'With the right policy changes, governments can create the conditions for new airlines to grow and compete – and give Canadians access to more affordable, reliable options for flights.' Independent aviation analyst Rick Erickson called the report one of the most thorough he's seen, but warned that 'we've heard this before.' 'The structural problem is we don't have enough secondary airports, which stifles new entrants,' he said. 'And the fee structure is nuts—aviation pays more than 100 per cent of its costs. Marine pays 10 per cent, Via Rail gets a subsidy, but aviation gets punished.' Erickson supports the idea of loosening foreign ownership rules. 'We've got to allow more entrants into the market. Full stop.' Nine per cent decrease in airfare for every new competitor added Research from the Competition Bureau shows that when just one new competitor flies on a route between two cities, airfares go down by nine per cent on average. Currently, two airlines—Air Canada and WestJet—handle between 56 and 78 per cent of domestic passenger traffic at Canada's major airports. Over time, they have divided the market geographically, with Air Canada dominating the east and WestJet the west, leading to diminished competition between them, the report notes. The Competition Bureau identifies part of the problem as a restrictive regulatory environment that limits international competitors. Restrictions on non-Canadian airlines operating domestic flights, along with caps on foreign investment, have hindered new and smaller players from entering the market—restrictions the Bureau believes could be eased to foster greater competition. Balanced regulation and consumer protection Gabor Lukacs, President of Air Passenger Rights, welcomed the report's push to reduce government intervention that has historically hindered competition. 'We are pleased that the Competition Bureau adopted our position on opening up domestic air travel to foreign competition and improving transparency around subsidies for remote routes,' Lukacs said. 'Importantly, the report recommends curtailing the minister's ability to override expert decisions on anti-competitive agreements between airlines. This creates a necessary balance between political interests and consumer protections.' Lukacs also highlighted challenges with the current Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), which airlines have frequently contested, driving up costs. 'The APPR has been a failure by design. Airlines complicate the claims process and litigate legitimate passenger complaints, inflating administrative costs,' he explained. 'The solution is to simplify the regulations, following the European gold standard, where passengers can quickly determine compensation eligibility and airlines comply with the law. We want profitable airlines that respect consumer rights, not those that profit by breaking the law.' 090324_flair Flair Airlines Captain Ken Symonds inspects the outside of one of the company's Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, in Richmond, B.C., on Wednesday, April 17, 2024. (Source: The Canadian Press/Darryl Dyck) Opportunity in increased competition: Flair Eric Tanner, VP Commercial at Calgary-based Flair Airlines, welcomed the Competition Bureau's report but stressed that government action is essential. 'We know how difficult it is to compete in Canada's aviation market, dominated by entrenched legacy carriers, with high costs making travel more expensive than elsewhere,' Tanner said. He criticized the current 'user-pay' airport model and lack of oversight, noting, 'Airports here cost much more than in other parts of the world, and fees are unfairly structured to favour certain business models.' Tanner also highlighted that connecting passengers pay far less in fees than local travelers, calling this 'unacceptable,' and pointed out that Flair's customers often pay more in airport fees than those flying with Air Canada or WestJet. 'This report identifies the problems, but now we need government to turn these findings into policies that improve competition and make air travel more affordable for Canadians,' he said. Porter plane A Porter airplane lands in Toronto on Wednesday, March 18, 2020. Porter Airlines and Air Transat are announcing a joint venture as the two carriers look to expand their range of destinations and tap into each other's markets. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette 'Cautious support': Porter Porter Airlines highlighted its efforts to increase competition by expanding its fleet and route network across Canada since 2023. In an statement to CTV News, the airline says it 'sees value in several of the report's suggestions, such as opening international flights at Montreal Metropolitan Airport and exploring new aircraft technology at Billy Bishop Airport.' Porter supports raising foreign ownership limits to 49 per cent for a single shareholder but urges caution on broader foreign ownership and market access changes. The airline warns that allowing foreign carriers to operate domestic routes could disadvantage smaller airlines unless reciprocal access is guaranteed for Canadian airlines abroad—benefits that would mainly favor the largest, most established players. CTV News reached out to both WestJet and Air Canada for comment on the Competition Bureau's report and recommendations, but has not received a response.

Quebec exports, imports dropped in April amid trade war
By Quebec's international exports declined 12.5 per cent from to March to April, the largest percentage decline since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the province's statistics institute said Thursday. The decline, which came during the first full month during which United States import tariffs were in place on Canadian aluminum and steel, followed a 4.5 per cent decline in exports from February to March, according to the Institut de la statistique du Québec. Exports to the United States dropped 26.9 per cent from March to April, with $6.3 billion in exports heading south of the border that month, the lowest level since February 2022. The U.S. imposed and paused across-the-board tariffs on Canadian goods in February and March, before exempting goods that are compliant with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement. U.S. tariffs on all aluminum and steel imports — including from Canada — came into effect in March 12 and were doubled in June. Exports to all other countries dropped by 10.7 per cent from March to April, the ISQ said. Despite the month-to-month decline, overall exports were up 2.9 per cent in April when compared to the year before. The province's imports declined 9.2 per cent from March to April, after declining 5.7 per cent the month before, the ISQ said. However, they were up 1.3 per cent from April 2024. The ISQ says export data from the federal government was delayed due to issues with a new computer system used by the Canada Border Services Agency.

OceanaGold Announces Effective Date of Share Consolidation in Connection with Proposed U.S. Listing
VANCOUVER, BC, June 19, 2025 /CNW/ - OceanaGold Corporation (TSX: OGC) (OTCQX: OCANF) ("OceanaGold" or the "Company") announces the consolidation of its common shares on the basis of three (3) pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share (the "Consolidation") will take effect as of Monday, June 23, 2025 (the "Effective Date"). The shareholders of OceanaGold approved the Consolidation at the Annual General and Special Meeting held on June 4, 2025. The Company is considering a dual listing of its common shares on a major U.S. exchange, including the New York Stock Exchange, in the first half of 2026. The Company believes a U.S. listing could lead to increased interest by a wider audience of potential investors and result in increased marketability and trading liquidity. The motivation of the Consolidation is to raise the per share trading price of the Company's common shares to better comply with minimum trading price requirements of such exchanges. OceanaGold's post-consolidation common shares will be posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange at the opening of trading on the Effective Date, under the current symbol "OGC" and new CUSIP number 675222400. As at the date of this news release, the Company has 693,379,818 common shares issued and outstanding. Following the completion of the Consolidation on the Effective Date, the Company is expected to have approximately 231,126,566 common shares issued and outstanding, subject to rounding. The exercise or conversion price of all performance rights and deferred share units will be proportionately adjusted reflecting the Consolidation ratio. No fractional post-consolidation common shares will be issued in effect with the Consolidation. Any fractional common share interest of 0.50 or more arising from the Consolidation will be rounded up to the nearest whole number, and any fractional common share interest of less than 0.50 will be cancelled. Registered shareholders holding pre-Consolidation common shares through the Direct Registration System ("DRS") will be automatically sent a DRS advice by the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare"), representing the number of post-Consolidation common shares they hold following the Consolidation and no further action is required to be taken. Beneficial shareholders holding their common shares through intermediaries such as a broker, trustee or other financial institution should note that such intermediaries may have different procedures for processing the Consolidation than those put in place by the Company for the registered shareholders. Beneficial shareholders who have questions regarding how their common shares will be processed in connection with the Consolidation should contact their intermediaries. Registered shareholders holding their pre-Consolidation common shares in certificate forms will receive a letter of transmittal from Computershare containing instructions on how to exchange their pre-consolidation share certificates for post-Consolidation shares.
