QUESTION PERIOD — Transport
Travellers with Disabilities
March 12, 2026
Thank you, Senator Moreau. It is a recommendation from the Chief Accessibility Officer.
The report notes that even though the federal transportation sector is highly regulated, there is little meaningful data about travellers with disabilities. What steps will the government take to ensure that federal transportation agencies collect data on users with disabilities?
I am sure that the Minister of Transport is aware of the recommendation. I will get in touch with him to see if there is something that I can bring to your attention or to answer your question on this more specifically.
You know that accessibility for those with disabilities in the transportation system is a multi-faceted system. It concerns not just the federal government but also the provincial and municipal governments as well.
