By Order No. 2000-A-171 dated May 23, 2000, Licence Nos. 972194 and 977276 were suspended pursuant to subsection 63(1) and paragraph 75(1)(a) of the Canada Transportation Act, S.C., 1996, c. 10 (hereinafter the CTA), for failure by the Licensee to file with the Canadian Transportation Agency (hereinafter the Agency) a valid certificate of insurance. The Licensee was provided with a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the Order to show cause why Licence Nos. 972194 and 977276 should not be cancelled pursuant to subsection 63(1) and paragraph 75(1)(a) of the CTA.

Pursuant to paragraphs 63(2)(b) and 75(2)(b) of the CTA, the Agency may suspend or cancel a domestic licence and a non-scheduled international licence in accordance with a request from the Licensee for the suspension or cancellation.

Alternatively, one year from the date of this Order, if the application for reinstatement is not filed or the Licensee does not meet any of the requirements of subparagraphs 61(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) and 73(1)(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) of the CTA, the Licensee is provided with an additional thirty (30) days to show cause why Licence Nos. 972194 and 977276 should not be cancelled pursuant to subsection 63(1) and paragraph 75(1)(a) of the CTA.
