Whereas, pursuant to subsection 5.5(1)Footnote a of the Aeronautics Act, a copy of the proposed Pickering Airport Site Zoning Regulations, substantially in the annexed form, was published in two successive issues of the Canada Gazette, Part I, on April 12 and April 19, 2003, and in two successive issues of the Toronto Star, on April 14 and April 15, 2003, and L’Express, on April 15 and April 22, 2003, and a reasonable opportunity was thereby afforded to interested persons to make representations to the Minister of Transport with respect to the proposed Regulations;

And whereas a purpose of the proposed Regulations is to prevent lands adjacent to or in the vicinity of the Pickering airport site from being used or developed in a manner that is, in the opinion of the Minister of Transport, incompatible with the safe operation of an airport or aircraft;

And whereas a purpose of the proposed Regulations is to prevent lands adjacent to or in the vicinity of facilities used to provide services relating to aeronautics from being used or developed in a manner that would, in the opinion of the Minister of Transport, cause interference with signals or communications to and from aircraft or to and from those facilities;

Therefore, Her Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Transport, pursuant to paragraphs 5.4(2)(b)Footnote a and (c)Footnote a of the Aeronautics Act, hereby makes the annexed Pickering Airport Site Zoning Regulations.
