The Trudeau government has announced it worked with airlines to consider requiring “digital identity documents” and biometric data like facial recognition for pre-aircraft boarding requirements.
A May 14 statement published in the Canada Gazette on Regulations Amending the Secure Air Travel Regulations and the Designated Provisions Regulations details how the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness discussed the proposed requirements during an air travel stakeholder exercise.
Testing to introduce facial recognition screening into Canada’s airports has been ongoing since as early as 2016.
Last year it was revealed that the Liberal government secretly scanned the faces of millions of unsuspecting travellers at Toronto Pearson International Airport in 2016. According to the Globe and Mail, 31 cameras were used to spy on travellers.
