| Updated Version of the Railway Safety Act (RSA) | |
| On December 18, 2001, the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada Act (TATC) received Royal Assent and is now chapter 29 of the Statutes of Canada, 2001. The thrust of this Act is to establish the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada and to amend several key pieces of transport legislation. On June 30, 2003, the TATC Act came into force, by way of Order in Council (SI/203-128), as well as the amendments to the Aeronautics Act, the Canada Transportation Act and the Railway Safety Act (RSA). The amendments to the Marine Transportation Security Act and the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 are to be brought into force at later dates. These latter amendments will form part of the comprehensive regulatory strategies underway in the areas of marine safety and marine security. Therefore, the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada has begun operations on June 30, 2003, and, for this purpose, TC Rail Safety has produced the following booklet entitled Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada (TP14113) which can be found on the TC external web site at the following electronic address: http://www.tc.gc.ca/railway/publications/tatc_e.htm TC has recently updated its Acts and Regulations web site, including the TATC Act and the RSA. Please find attached below the electronic addresses to the TATC Act and the revised RSA.
