It is part of the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities (ICT) portfolio. The current Minister of Transport is Omar Alghabra. Transport Canada`s head office is located in Ottawa, Ontario. [1] Prior to the federal government reorganization in 1994, Transport Canada had a wide range of operational responsibilities, including the Canadian Coast Guard, the St. Lawrence Seaway, airports and seaports, and Via Rail and CN Rail. Significant cuts to Transport Canada at the time led to the privatization of CN, the transfer of the Coast Guard to Fisheries and Oceans, and the transfer of the Seaway and various ports and airports to local operating authorities. Transport Canada emerged from this process as a department focused on policy and regulation rather than transportation operations.
