Subject: Reject proposed “Secure Flight Program”Cc: “Dean DelMastro”  DelMastro.D@parl.gc.ca, mintc@tc.gc.ca

Prime Minister Stephen Harper,Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Dean Del Mastro –

MP for Peterborough, Ontario

I write to strongly protest the proposed policy that requires Canadian airlines flying through U.S. airspace to hand over the personal data of  everyone aboard the plane even if the destination is not in the United States.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s “Secure Flight Program”

is opposed by the organization representing all Canadian airlines, the Air Transport Association of Canada (ATAC), as well as most Canadians who do not want their travel destinations, itineraries and personal information on record with U.S. spy agencies.

I demand that the Canadian government not turn over information about its air passengers to a foreign country.

Those who wish to be closely governed by U.S. authorities should move to the United States as soon as possible. Those who sell out the rights of Canadian citizens to foreign countries should be removed from office for failing to protect Canadian rights.

Sincerely,

Kathryn Langley
