e-1314 (Air transportation)
E-petition
Initiated by Chris Isaac from Laval, Quebec
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- Noise pollution from air traffic above Laval has increased greatly in recent years, particularly since late 2016 and early 2017;
- People’s quality of life has been affected by noise from aircraft travelling at low altitude;
- Scientific research and recent studies show that jet aircraft are among the worst sources of noise pollution and are a risk to health, particularly cardiovascular health; and
- Montreal’s airport authority, the administration d’Aéroports de Montréal (ADM), has been unable to develop an acceptable solution to reduce noise pollution from air traffic over Laval.
We, the undersigned, residents of Laval, call upon the Government of Canada to take action by changing regulations so that the flight paths above Laval avoid densely populated areas, that the altitude at which these aircraft fly is increased significantly to minimize noise to residents, and that ADM follow international best practices to ensure the peaceful coexistence between the activities of the infrastructure that it administers and the residents of the greater Montreal area.
